Thats pretty neat! I also just bought a fairphone 5 to mess around with Linux on, so I could probably adapt it to that as well.
As far as my HTPC needs go, I’d have to figure out a way to shoehorn bluetooth into this, as it would have to be wireless for TV use, missing a mouse trackpad as well.
For the steam controller, I wonder if the controller has USB host mode to power and accept input from it, and if it would register the keys at all, not sure.
Adapting the FP4 case to FP5 shouldn’t be difficult, the dimensions are close to identical.
Sorry, I misread what HTPC meant. Yeah, I don’t have bluetooth on the Fairberry. I made an ESP32-based version with bluetooth once, but I couldn’t be bothered implementing power saving features so I discontinued it.
Thanks! It was a lot of work over a long time. But I wouldn’t want to live without my keyboard on my phone. I’m using the Fairberry with the third phone now, have been dailying some form of it over the last 5 years.

I didn’t realize you were the person who made the project. Nice job! It’s very useful and polished!
