It's pretty funny, because from mechanicalkeyboards they suggested to post here because you have more knowledge on low profile keyboards.
Do anyone have feedback on this?

Looks promising
Row staggered but not splitted.
How much like the corne do you want it to be?
like a normal keyboard and not split
Also, how DIY do you want to get?
As long as no soldering is required I am up for everything
Perhaps images, video, font etc. rendering could be compromised?
Yes, it already happen in the past. Also the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stack got exploited, like multiple kernel drivers.
But it shouldn't be a matter of "in the past was X exploited?" but more on having a correct security posture.
Honestly if you are arguing about wasting a "perfectly working phone" you should blame it on the vendor, especially Android devices vendors have this let's say "defect" of dropping the support after 4/5 years.
Also not going to talk about custom ROMs (with the super rare exclusion of some) managed by god knows who, without any security team behind.
Since even the NFC and Cellular Network stack got vulnerabilities the only way you would consider an old phone "safe" to use is just turning it into the equivalent of a local ARM server.
Also pretty fun seeing the replies in the original post talking about how Google Play store shouldn't have malware on it.
Don’t expose anything from your local network to the internet (unless you want multiple new sysadmins in your house). Try tailscale instead.
