The only TV typing gadget built in public that labels every feature unproven until measured.
For T9 nostalgics who own an Android phone and hate the on-screen keyboard on their smart TV.
A keypad, a dongle and the Android phone you own.
A small T9 keypad with its own display talks over its own 2.4 GHz radio, not Bluetooth, to a USB-C dongle in your Android phone.
Sample: what the gadget display would offer
Sample content. Suggestion quality is unproven until measured on real hardware.

No revenue at launch. Nothing to pay.
The waitlist and build log are free. Nobody pays in advance for a device that does not exist. Pricing is decided only after checks G1 to G7 pass and the 500-signup threshold is met.
How it works
Type on the keypad
Press keys the way you did on a Nokia. The gadget shows your word choices on its own small display.
Unproven until measured on real hardware
The phone does the thinking
The USB-C dongle in your Android phone talks to the gadget over its own 2.4 GHz radio. The Android app computes the T9 suggestions and sends them back to the gadget display.
Unproven until measured on real hardware
The text reaches your TV
The app passes the text on to the TV over a network or remote path, once that path has been validated.
Unproven until measured on real hardware
You still know 4663 is good, home and gone.
Tastkiesel is built in public. Nothing here is a promise until it has been measured on real hardware.
