> but when I’m driving I’d rather not have something like that.
I think both modes (Multi-window and Pop-up window) are a bit fiddly to use while driving, i.e. you often need to adjust a lot get the right info smaller pane for each app.
However if you set up all the (partially overlapping) windows before driving, switching between different apps may be a bit easier with pop-up. Just tap on the window that needs to come to front.
Technically you could even do that with a bluetooth controller that has a touchpad, e.g. something like this if you want to keep your eyes on the road and avoid interacting with the phone while driving.
I carry multiple phones anyways, so I will often just use one app per phone while driving, e.g. two different car navigation apps on two phones.

Exactly.
If you need additional batteries and connectors AND a keyboard + mouse then I don’t know where this product fits in.
I was going to suggest that this should also include the board from a small keyboard mouse combo so you’d be able to use the computer as a computer without an accessory bag. But I think I’d just totally redo the design at that point.
Honestly, the contraption is just way too big to not include these features. A Pelican 1120 case isn’t exactly small.

Guys. No. These are bad.
My first smartphone had a slide-out keyboard. One of the keys broke. Rendering it mostly useless.
Just get something like this and prop your phone up. Now, I don’t have this one in particular, just search Amazon for “mini bluetooth keyboard” and try to find one with good reviews. There are dozens of them. That way you don’t have to compromise on your phone, and if something happens to the keyboard, you just replace it. Oh and you can use it on different devices, too. So there’s that.

You could get one of those small bluetooth keyboards and then you could use it on many things like iOS/Android/PC/Linux/Pi (?)
A quick Amazon search came up with this, do your homework before buying obviously.

Sideloading the apps is fairly simple but the interface can be an issue for apps that are not designed to be used with the Fire TV Remote. You may need to use a mouse (bluetooth ones work well or you can get mini keyboards/mice such as http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BX0YKX4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) or use an app on your phone such as Wukong Remote

If you wanted to go the Nova route, people keep linking a horrible looking remote but they say it performs well. Emulates the mouse with a trackpad. I’ll try to find the link for it.
EDIT: Link here

USB is for charging only, sadly. Computer doesn’t even go ding when plugging it in, on or off.
I also have an older Anker bluetooth keyboard that is ignored when wired in and only works via BT.
Depends on how small you need. There’s this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Perixx-PERIBOARD-510H-Keyboard-Touchpad-Built/dp/B074SH2HSQ/ or without trackpad https://www.amazon.co.uk/Perixx-PERIBOARD-326-Keyboard-QWERTY-Backlit-LED/dp/B08C5LX743/
Thing is that it’s kinda at odds with the design objectives – if it’s for thumbs, then who would want wires when it’s not on a desk…
Keep looking though, you might just find it.

As long as it’s compatible with old school Android, probably.
I used one of these with my nexus Q. Same vintage as glass.

something like this and then 3d printing or paying someone to 3d print a mounting bracket might be exactly what might satiate the keyboard urge https://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Portable-Lightweight-Bluetooth-Controller/dp/B00BX0YKX4/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=mini+keyboard&qid=1617479114&sr=8-4

Very cool! I recommend swapping the mouse and keyboard for one of these.

Xbox controller if you also want something to game with, and then get this software to use it as a mouse. Or you could get something like a mini bluetooth keyboard/trackpad from Amazon, about the same size as a regular game controller. I’ve never used one but the linked one seems to be good
·
I use this thing with my Nvidia Shield. I assume it would work the same for the new CC. Very nice and easy to use. Controls the volume and playback and lets you use a mouse and keyboard all handheld. It’s been pretty nice and works well, I like that it has the back lit buttons. Rechargeable and the battery seems to last a very long time, charge it maybe once a month.

I was struggling with this as I just purchased the firetv stick and I have an iPhone.
After sideloading the Xfinity TV app and settings.apk., this now works perfectly for me: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BX0YKX4 (alternate: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BALK9CM)
if you hold down the right mouse stick and use the trackpad, it scrolls just like the native android app is supposed to.
Yes, it’s a $20 solution, but the keyboard has many uses. If there is ONE caveat, the trackpad area is small, so it can take multiple swipes to navigate the guide.
Hope that helps.
