We know that Samsung likes to get… creative… with its hardware designs at times. This can be both a good and bad thing, as the company’s wild experiments have yielded successes like the Galaxy S6 edge but also what-were-they-thinking flops like the Galaxy Round. Longtime gadget leaker @evleaks on Friday posted a picture of what appears to be a Typo-style keyboard attachment that he hints will launch alongside the Galaxy S6 edge+ next weeks.

DON’T MISS: Here comes the iPhone 6s: New phone will ‘likely’ be unveiled on September 9th

Ugh.

While we still consider this a wild rumor, we actually hope Samsung goes through with releasing a keyboard attachment for the S6 edge+ and we hope it’s a massive hit, Why? Mostly because it would allow BlackBerry to sue the pants off Samsung just as it did with Typo, although we’re going to assume that Samsung’s IP legal team has its bases covered more thoroughly than Ryan Seacrest and company did.
