That @solder.party keyboard everyone is so hyped about arrived. That tactile feel is crazy for a silicone keyboard. It types practically the same like the old Nokia E63 / Blackberry keyboards. Too bad you can't feel it through the photo, but if you're fast @pimoroni.com might have some stock left!

Solder Party’s KeebDeck is a cheap, open source 69-key thumb keyboard
A few years ago Solder Party started selling tiny USB keyboards made by combining an actual BlackBerry keyboard (ripped from an old device) with a custom PCB and USB-C connector. But since BlackBerry is out of business, eventually it's going to get harder to find devices to cannibalize for their keyboards. So Solder Party has now introduced two brand new products.

Set up a little typing speed test for folks at #KiCon to try out the #KeebDeck Mini ☺️
The KeebDeck Mini connected over USB to a laptop it's sitting on. The laptop is showing a paragraph from Alice in wonderland to be typed in 30 seconds. Same setup but now the laptop is showing the results with 43.2 wpm and 100% accuracy.
