Got my MNT Pocket Reform. It’s definitely unlike anything else I’ve used, part good, part headache. The keyboard is a nightmare — no bumps on F and J, and every key is just a small concave circle, so shift, space, enter, backspace, all of it feels exactly the same. The build is solid, nicely balanced, screws are easy to find and open, so no complaints there. But even turning it on is an issue. Supposedly there’s a standby switch, but I can’t feel one anywhere. There’s just a hole on the left side that looks like a SIM eject slot, but sticking a tool in feels like it would just sink straight through.

Supposed to be receiving my #mnt #pocket today. excited is an understatement. Looking forward to checking out a piece of fully open, modular hardware. #Linux #Opensource #hardware
