So my BT keyboard + trackpad is looking worse for wear.

It was cheap and cheerful with a winning form factor. Other KBs came and went, but it survived.

I need a replacement.

It’s been used with emacs (DooM) with my tablet and / or phone for a few years, and has a few shortcomings (see yellow sticker).

I now also have a SteamDeck, which is basically an Arch box, and I’d love a BT keyboard with that.

Does anyone have a portable setup they’d like to share?

Also, is there an emacs-y way to lisp my way out of things like:

  • keys being missing (#);
  • ESC being on a function layer?

    I use a corne for desktop and mobile. Mine is usb but you can get bt. Diy or prebuilt but it has a reasonable form factor.

      I’d love to know how you get on with the corne?

      When I got my K8 I planned a corne / lily / sofle / lotus build as a “portable”

      Went down the dactyl rabbit hole and printed some mock ups - then ran out of time

    If you are wealthy, happy hacking keyboard. It would be nice if they release thinner alternatives like this, but they are all thick but relatively light except for the new model with a track point. I carry it around.
