I received a Beepy with a plain US keyboard but uneven keyboard backlighting. When I ordered a new Q10 keyboard from AliExpress, I got one that was left half Arabic/English and right half US-English. My T-deck came with the Arabic one. Seems like there are a lot of Arabic parts out there.
The Beepy is just as capable. The T-Deck is only serving as an interface to the Meshtastic LoRa node. A Beepy can run a Meshtastic companion app and connect over Bluetooth, just like the T-Deck.
Beepys have a pretty big issue with randomly shorting out due to a design flaw, according to the Discord forum anecdata. It happened to mine, unfortunately.
A very capable little device before it cooked itself, though—having a raspberry pi in your pocket is a lot of fun.
It is weird how the moment I saw the words 'mini keyboard' in the title I knew the exact keyboard module they were using, because it's the one everyone uses.
By the way, does anyone know why all of these devices use the Arabic BlackBerry keyboard? Was there a particular surplus of this layout?
