I had an idea for a similar product, just didn't have the time to get the right people to make it :p Really cool, and I didn't think of using an actual replacement keyboard.

The replacement keyboard removes like 90% of the headache and the minimum order quantity.

If you want to go and make it, I'd be more than happy. I'd even be happy for someone making them and selling them, as long as my repo is mentioned somewhere.

Indeed. Tho there probably aren't too many left in stock to make a larger-scale product, unless there's a full warehouse of them from when BB started losing to touchscreen devices.

There are actually surprisingly many of these still around, considering that the Blackberry Q10 came out 10 years ago.

But yeah, to sell >1000 or so of them, there's probably not enough supply.
