BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired - Lemmy.World

I had two BlackBerry devices for work, right about the time they were going away. I’d heard the keyboard was good on earlier models but it seemed like the quality had gotten pretty cheap on the later phones. The BlackBerry 10 OS on my last phone was actually pretty good, and probably would’ve kept them in the market if they’d launched it 5 years earlier.

Yes please I hate fucking virtual keyboards and haptic feedback.

I literally go out of my way to use shit like KDE Connect to not have to type on a shitty phone virtual keyboard

I have a 60% bluetooth keyboard that I'll use when I need to type on my phone. A pain to carry with me, but taking a whole laptop is sometimes even worse.
60% Bluetooth, but what’s the other 40%?
