Is it even legal? (Serious question)

Why would it not be? BlackBerry the company (as in the hardware one) doesn’t exist anymore, if parts exist why wouldn’t people be able to use them?

It does. They just don’t sell hardware. They sold most of the patents but still retain some and they’ve sued over the keyboard before (Google BlackBerry vs Typo keyboard) so it isn’t a dumb question. That said, if someone else is selling an OEM-like part, I doubt this is high volume enough for the people left at BlackBerry to care.
