Customer Reviews
The PCB is well designed and manufactured. I like the black matte solder mask. All of the pre assembled components are placed with precision and the boards are clean of any leftover flux or grime from the process. I have a few ideas for future builds!
Keyboard works fine so far. The instructions to assemble it are not super clear. I had issues with pairing at first. The printed case feels cheap, though the keyboard certainly is not. Same for the tenting system: it's just a bunch of phone holders.
In general im satisfied with the product because it works how I like it but it feels cheap.
10/10 wonderful zmk integration
I am pretty technical, but not particularly experienced with hardware. The soldering and assembly was easy, and the troubleshooting documentation was exactly what I needed to understand which of my terrible soldering jobs was to blame!
This was my first custom keyboard and I look forward to doing many more.
I bought the kit with the solderless pins and had a blast putting everything together and it works perfectly. Everything comes nicely packaged. Very recommended
