It's a LongBerry
I'm surprised that there isn't already a simple thumb keyboard with a USB-C plug at the top that you can just buy on Amazon. I would think that what you've done here would be super helpful for lots of people.
I would love an foldable case with a keyboard on one side. Like a little Laptop. Would be so neat.
Edit, something like this:
Love it. Miss my keyboard, badly. Was a die hard Crackberry user for many years.
I see a reference to adding a lightning connector. Is it that trivial to adapt?
Funnily, yes it is. At least in theory, I haven't tested it.
I am not using the USB connector directly, but instead I have a small USB OTG breakout board in between, which has USB C on one side and USB 2.0 OTG on the other side.
The same kind of board exists for Micro USB (which I tested on my last phone) and Lightning.
So all you need to do is swap the connector and that's that. And of course adjust the case design files to fit an iPhone.
