Speaking of keyswitches: how did your plan to install a keyboard on the xiaomi-pyxis by repurposing the internal interfaces go?
(the fact that tech moguls will make a device strong enough to BTFO a decade-old laptop, only to cripple it by having a finger touchscreen as the only interface...)

@moses_izumi I probably will do this to motorola-vicky instead, because it has a completely plastic chassis (so I can 3D-print new casing) and I can steal I2C lines and power needed for keyboard controller relatively easily. Biggest challenge would be: 1. Inability to afford a 3D printer 2. Figuring out how keyboard mechanisms worked in HTC TyTn II for example and replicating it
