Why not draw your own?
wenchcoat system:
🍯 Akhra (or Melli to disambiguate), ratel.
🐲 Rhiannon, drangolin.
🦡 Lenestre, American badger.
unless tagged or otherwise obvious, assume 🍯🐲🦡 in chorus; even when that's not quite accurate, we will always be in consensus. address collectively as Akhra (she/her), or as wenchcoat (she/her or plural).

Which is a whole other post in and of itself, but I - as I always do when Etsy rolls out another hare brained change - read the official announcement, updated TOS and related forum post.
...
The forum is FULL of demented Karens, who are peddling the most bland and mundane kitsch imaginable, shrieking in glee about it, happy that "finally Etsy is doing something about these degenerates" and "hope the takedowns are swift and fully".
I am livid.
I want to rip these hobby lobby cunts apart with tooth and claw...
I want all of them to get arthritis so bad they can't use a keyboard anymore, let alone make shitty laugh-love-live waste.
I want the shivering rat of a dog they all seem to inexplicably own gnaw off their clits while they sleep.
Y'all may know that I'm a BlackBerry holdout. After Planet Computers ran off with backer funds from the Astro Slide 5G, I kind of lost hope for the last year and change that there would be any kind of viable modern physical keyboard phone to replace my aging Key2.
But I recently came across a wonderful project on GitHub called Fairberry that solves most of my problems with other similar solutions, uses an actual BlackBerry keyboard (from a Q10), and most importantly can be adapted to fit any smartphone by means of a 3D printed case. This also means that the Fairberry can be made with the keyboard in-line below a phone rather than stacked on top of the 'chin' of it, which I'll probably try as I'd prefer the extra length to extra thickness.

At present, this seems to be my best bet for a modern phone that fits my needs well. But in case you have similar-yet-different needs or want something more polished-looking, there's info about some other physical keyboard options below the break!
I'm in the process of ordering parts for now. The project uses a custom PCB and there are pretty significant lead times on some of the components, so I intend to make at least two of them to avoid long downtimes if one breaks or something goes wrong. If anyone else here is interested in group ordering to build their own or having me slap an extra one together for them, let me know so I can adjust quantity accordingly!
