Keyboard QWERTY Too Small? DIY USB Keyboard FTW

android-usb-keyboardDid you know that your Android Phone just might be able to use a USB keyboard with a few dollars for spare parts and some elbow grease?  I’m not completely sure WHY you would have an Android Phone while lugging around a USB keyboard instead of just getting something with a more fitting form-factor for your needs – but whatever floats your boat!

The process only works on certain base builds of Android and involves enabling USB On The GO, using the proper cables (car charger, micro USB, USB extender), and a bit of soldering to splice two cables together. For the nitty gritty details check out the links.
