Some questions I have in mind, as you seem to already have used your Pyra for productive work:
No, I didn't. That was simply a test of how it looks and that it is theoretically possible.
How is the screen under sunlight? Is it readable?
No idea. Haven't used it under that circumstances.
But I can try it and report as soon as the wether is appropriate.
* How are the controls? How easy is it to use the nubs as mouse? (Although you're used to this method from operating the pandora over years) How fast can you type?
After ED fixed my Nubs they are excellent. Pressing them still is not configured as mouse click so they work similar to the Pandora ones. But much more accurate and precise.
I haven't typed much and did most of the stuff I did via the serial input.
Typing is horrible. I have an old keymat. It's stiff and button presses are not recognized frequently.
The new keymat will be better though as I've already tested it.
After barely using the Pyra I got familiar with the keyboard very fast. Typing on the Pandora again feels strange. Especially with the upper row backspace.
Having ESC and TAB is a huge improvement. The keys are placed well.
After some days with the Pyra the Pandora feels really flat
The size is definitely not a bad thing.
It's not usable for productivity still, as I have no working battery monitor and a bad keyboard.
What I did so far is making Pandora like scripts for Keyboard, LCD and LED backlight control.
Still need to upload them.
Don't expect miracles form my side
