I'm probably strange in wanting this, but I wish there was a bluetooth 3x4 T9 keypad with a small lcd that shows the content of the input box. Basically a Nokia 3310 as an input device to a smartphone. For whatever reason I found t9 input a lot nicer than swyping/tapping on a touchscreen keyboard. I didn't have to watch my fingers or pay attention at all to type like I do with touchscreen querty keyboards. I've toyed with the idea of building something like that but it would likely be too bulky without professional tooling that requires $EXPENSIVE_PRODUCION_RUN
