This Cool DIY Project Adds A Sliding Keyboard to Galaxy Note 10+

by | Mar 10, 2025 | Galaxy S, News

If you place a modern smartphone next to one from five or ten years ago, youโ€™ll instantly see how far technology has come. Unlike today, where most phones stick to just two form factors โ€” foldables and slabs, phone makers used to offer a whole variety of designs back in the day. If youโ€™re old enough, youโ€™ll know exactly what I mean.

Now, someone has added a sliding keyboard mod to the Galaxy Note 10+, bringing back the charm of those sleek, stylish phones from years past. Having used one myself back in the day, I canโ€™t help but feel a wave of nostalgia after seeing this.

Someone modded a sliding keyboard for the Galaxy Note 10+

The first question that probably comes to mind is: How did they pull this off? Technically speaking, this mod isnโ€™t that difficult, nor does it break the bank. It was designed by a Reddit user AdmiralSym using a Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad from a TV remote. Since it connects wirelessly, thereโ€™s no need for complicated wiring or programming. The real challenge, however, is designing a custom 3D-printed case with a sliding mechanism to house the keyboard. And thatโ€™s where AdmiralSym has nailed it.

The end result is strikingly reminiscent to those cool phones of yesteryear. And with the Galaxy Note 10+โ€™s massive 6.8-inch display, it feels more like a mini laptop than a smartphone. The mod fully utilizes Samsungโ€™s DeX mode, effectively turning the phone into a pocket-sized workstation with a physical keyboard and trackpad.

Meanwhile, Clicks recently announced keyboard cases for the Galaxy S25 series. But if you prefer a DIY approach, AdmiralSym has generously shared the 3D print files for free. Just keep in mind that the sliding keyboard mod is specifically for the Galaxy Note 10+, so youโ€™ll need to tweak it if you want to adapt it for any other phone.
