Customer Reviews
I just ordered the partially assembled pcb, which was made very well with no faulty connections or traces. It came out great, and the documentation was so helpful for setting up a customized version of zmk as well as general assembly and troubleshooting. For the price, this is very hard to beat. I would have loved to see an engineering diagram/scaled svg or a 3d file of the pcb for purposes of designing cases, though I may just have not been able to find it
Very easy to solder controller and assemble, wireless and battery are great so far. Good little kit.
I loved how somewhat easy this PCB made it to put together a keyboard. Haha I only had to reorder once. The first PCB I guess I got the Iron too hot and broke some parts. But this was my first fully custom keyboard. It’s totally awesome!! Would do again in a heartbeat!! Also to anyone soldering the nice nano… please do it right the first time, make sure it’s upside down. I did mine backwards… also I highly recommend you get the hot swap pieces, you solder them on but then can remove the nice nano.
Great assembly quality
This was my first entry into the world of specialized keyboards and with the nano and no-solder options it was incredibly quick and easy to assemble following the video tutorials. The quality feels high and it is super portable to bring with me to work. Highly recommend.
