I can finally use a keyboard with my phone!

[oali24]

I got a smartphone after years of using some sort of kai os device as I just really wanted the physical keyboard, and since I got this smartphone (samsung a51) I have really hated the touchscreen and I just haven't gotten used to it so I got an adapter that goes from female usb type A to male usb type c, now I can finally type on my phone without frustrating touchscreen, I'm using a microsoft multimedia keyboard from ~2000, its really good to have a real physical keyboard, even if its a membrane keyboard. has anyone else tried this, I will say that the mouse has a problem of that if the app doesn't have landscape, it goes on its side and its really annoying to try to control with mouse, but that's more the fault of android app devs.

But in all seriousness (I own a BB so I can say that) that's a nice mod, well done

A little difficult to make portable, but I"m sure this is just a beta version

There is also this, but not nearly as retro (a little more portable tho!)

Logitech must made a relatively small keyboard for this purpose

Long live conversion technology! What do you use this for exactly though..

Why wouldn't you just get a Bluetooth keyboard?

emails when I'm in another room because my thinkpad doesn't work. I also have this weird problem where gmail just doesn't work right on my desktop, it doesn't work with any of my browsers its really weird because I can use youtube and google classroom and basically any other site.
