Is there a first functional prototype to show including 3D printed TOH? I think this would motivate many people to donate (including me) :).

First 3D printed proto -without pcb- will probably make its appearance here on friday. With that model I will check all my measurements and dimensions, as well as the print quality. Also, if I am satisfied I will probably make a video with the slide mechanism!

Okay, I have decided! I am going through with this
[...]
-The 22 heroes that have donated to me are first in line and their donation is converted in a 'qwerty-oh' voucher!

Thank you! Donated the rest (incl shipping) + some extra.

The next week will have a lot of updates:

In order of appearance:
-Electrical components are coming in (a lot!)
-Tests with re-flow solder oven -possibly even with QFN40 stencil
-Decision about software by eeprom, or... NFC chip(!)
-PCB will be sent out for production, local maker
-First 3D-model comes in, so first dummy-assembly!
-3D models out for production if dummy satisfies needs
(-Hopefully update on software)
(-Hopefully update on Jolla involvement)

I can't donate in the immediate future, because I just donated substantially to the Neo900 project, and I don't even have a Jolla phone yet. But I do think I will be contributing to this in the future.

Not really my taste :p

Also, I would -if possible- avoid windows logo's on my Jolla

Windows Logo is ugly yes ;). But I like the four row design of the keyboard including arrow keys.

Software-wise this should be totally possible! But there are no kezboards available as spare parts. Paint?
