> I looked quickly at US International, but I have to figure out how to use the third symbol layer. Try Alt Gr. On the roadmap there is a WYSIWYG feature that should help with that. The static label display could also be improved using colour coding.

The beta is live. If you still can't install the app after registering for the beta then the only way we can do this is for you to send me an email address from a Google account you want to use. You could create one for that purpose or just use an existing one.

I've created an open beta channel. Soon you should be able to register as a beta tester, or maybe not depending on how Google Play manages device restrictions.

Interesting, so it looks like everyone can register for it. Even though I may never release for those devices 🤣 It's already available for Tab S8 Ultra and only for those. I wonder if the device restriction applies to beta testers maybe not. It does not apply to internal testers so much I know, but internal testers need to be registered manually using Google account email address.

> for use with an Android phone It's primarily designed to work with Windows PC. In theory it could work with any host device supporting HID devices over classic Bluetooth, as opposed to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). In practice, and solely because I'm filtering out Bluetooth devices when doing the scan, I don't think you can currently pair with an Android phone. However I could pair with an NVidia Shield for instance. Though Android specific keys are currently missing. I should add them at some point. > Is there any special reason why it would work only with the Tab S8 Ultra?

Dear keyboard lovers here is something to try out while waiting for your Pro¹X. Interface just launched. It's a revolutionary Bluetooth PC keyboard for Android devices. Currently only available on Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. It's very early days so the feature set is still limited but the potential is mind blowing. And yes, I too have been a long term fan of mechanical keyboards and I thought I could never do without them. I used a couple of ThinkPad USB keyboards for the last 20 years, even developed a custom driver for them. But then I saw the potential of devices such as the T

Considering asking for refund too ...

@3zet are you there?

Has anyone done that yet? So that we can quantify how much a downgarde it is.

Did they fix that since? To be fair even on 18.1 there was some major breakage with dual SIM, unless it was just LTE…

Do realise you are really late to the party. I don't see how you would get your phone before December 2023. Unless they somehow unfairly prioritize website orders over IGGs.

Yeah at this price you may as well get a Samsung Fold it does landscape keyboard too.

I don't think that's very relevant for smartphones at this stage. Can you name one thing you would do with a 2022 mid-range smartphone that you could not do with a Pro1X? Having said that I understand your frustration and that makes me wonder if I should also ask for a refund… I sent F(x)tec an e-mail last week asking them to change my layout from AZERTY to QWERTY since their AZERTY design is so weak anyway... I figure the QWERTY could be delivered sooner and will be easier to resell too, if need be. Please do let us know how that goes.

My Pro1 can easily last 2 days running LOS. Never changed the battery. Is that phone going to be 3 years old in January? I think I've been running LOS about a year now.

Assuming you are talking about the Pro¹X. It's not surprising, quite the opposite. Putting together the hardware and running Android on it is the easy part. Although the keyboard form factor makes it harder than most I guess. What's tricky is to get it all to work optimally and even huge international corporations sometimes fail at that so we would be very lucky to have best connectivity with the Pro¹X especially on day one.

Which keyboard layout?

The problem with this, is that it is just for typing text not controlling your phone like you do with a keyboard, think ctrl + tab and other shortcuts. I wonder if you could develop such a mode where the virtual keyboard is sticky. There is that and the fact that the front screen is way too narrow on the Fold.

Is the front screen still so narrow or do they have a newer model already?

It's just sitting in the biggest of the cases provided. It's quite stable and usable actually, it's just not locked in. In theory I guess you could 3D print a shell for it.

Razer Junglecat, does not actually fit out-of-the-box.

What happens to order from Russia? Looks like everyone else will be getting their X first.

I don't think it develops. It's always been there but you don't usually notice it at first. Both my Pro1s have that to various extent in some corners. Just a common defect on those screens it seems.

Only had to convince mine to move out 🤣

Of course you are right. I'm just venting my frustration at them having too little resources to invest in proper keyboard layouts which is somewhat central to that hardware... Hopefully their next hardware replaces the keyboard prints layer with a flexible OLED screen for maximum layout customisation.

Just published release v1.7.14 which displays the keyboard shortcuts in the system menu. Merry Christmas everyone 🎅
