I do lots of work on my phone thanks to Termux and a 60% bluetooth mechanical keyboard. It's one of my most essential apps on Android. Either using it directly or using it to SSH into servers, raspberry pis, etc.


I'd really appreciate knowing which keyboard you're using!


I use an RK61 one from Amazon[0]. Haven't had any problems with it. I use it quite regularly for my phone and some RasPis. I made a little bracket to hold my phone at the top of the keyboard so I can sit with it on my lap or a table and type for extended periods quite happily.

I use my phone as my primary mobile computer (I don't own a laptop anymore) and am very happy with this setup.

Oh wow, that's a really good price as well.

And the buttons are in the right place (!)

Thank you.


I have a NIZ Plum 84 with bluetooth that works well. There's a number of sizes: https://www.nizkeyboard.com/product/hot-selling-bluetooth-us...


He probably meant hardware keyboard. <strike>I don’t think anyone makes Bluetooth mechanical keyboards.</strike> Ok I’m apparently totally wrong about that last thing and possibly the first as well.


Actually there are many. I've been using this one [0] for around 2 years, with blue switches. Despite some bad reviews, I don't have any issue with it. It can be paired with up to 3 devices + wired USB, so I can swap from phone to desktop to media center with 2 keypresses.

HHKB's supporting Bluetooth (and USB): PD-KB600B, PD-KB600BN, PD-KB620B. I own one of these. Expensive, but high quality.
