I’m really intrigued by the video, and the concept but why? 10 years ago I would have loved it, but this guy is wayyyyyy too long.

If you’ve typed on a Blackberry device at all before, it’ll make sense. I agree the form factor is garbage though.
A landscape one wouldn’t feel that great though IMO, I tried a few mobile landscape keyboards a decade ago and they almost always felt “off” in some way, whether its the key travel, texture, mushiness or key spacing. A company that is actually serious about it would need to design one in that orientation I think
A huge problem with a landscape board on an iPhone is that so much of the UI doesn’t work in landscape.
I have the same trouble when using mine in the controller clamp I have. You’re in a game, in landscape, but you need to switch to settings for whatever reason. Now the app is at 90° to how you’re holding the phone. Same with the Home screen.
It works fine with iPad, because the UI works in both aspects.
