That could work too. A keyboard that you put on top of the screen, the only thing that would need to happen is that the operating system detects this and moves the content to the top, the same way as the software keyboard.

Similar to what @walterbell suggested https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38872674

This looks awesome, and they even mentioned that they were faster on the physicial keyboard. Although this design also has the problem with balance, but very likely not as much as TFA. I guess this design can't really work today as there is no home key on phones anymore, which they covered with the keyboard so it is not as long as the case in TFA.
I just found this galaxy keyboard cover for the S8 and the phone really adjusted to the keyboard being there, this looks like the perfect solution. Why did they stop manufacturing this for their new phones :/ Someone in the reviews also mentioned that they borked it with a Software Update.
