Pity the keys are staggered. An ergonomic layout would have been better, especially on a small keyboard.

Serious question: What ergonomic designs are there that can make a 5-inch keyboard comfortable to type on?

A random example of staggering keys in the right direction (vertical) and with a better angle: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/keyboardio/atreus

This already looks double the size of the pinephone from the video. This board is most likely going to have to be smaller like a netbook keyboard given the pinephone's size
