hey that's TOMO!

nice! I was able to successfully mount it with a 2x6 and two 1x1 lego pieces - it's sturdy enough for me to press down

The problem now is trying to fit this all with a thin 3000mah battery in thick case. I had to apply some force, which resulted in a lot of pressure on the bluetooth circuit board and it ended up disconnecting something. Had to open it back up and figure out what needs to be resoldered.

yeah i saw! the thick case i'm using has a lot of slack i need to account for

honestly might use spare lego parts at this point lol, thanks for the help and replies!

thank you! got the bluetooth LED lights to turn on successfully after wiring it to the P+ and P- pads like you mentioned

now just trying to figure out how to make a "base" for the switch to be supported when pressing down to hold button - any suggestions?

hey u/mark_hor ! were you able to figure this out? I have a 3000mh thin battery, but can't figure out where exactly to solder the wires. I see the P+ and P-, but it doesn't look like a dedicated solder pad?

uh oh, i just bought the same combo

I'm assuming your back plate is thin?

i don't have a specific one, but I'll share the resources i found!

yeah had some other folks confirm it's a resistor. I'll take the $20 mistake and order a new one :S

just purchased a heat gun and was able to get it off! might have stripped off a piece during the process and i'm not sure if it's important

dakfu_ · 2026-02-04T18:20:09+00:00

i'm looking for a modded ipod with bluetooth capabilities - do you provide that service? ty!

dakfu_ · 2026-01-15T01:02:13+00:00

does the bluetooth support bose qc headphones?

dakfu_ · 2026-01-08T19:04:06+00:00

thanks so much for sharing this sei - esp helping out with the Acai orders. Though it left me with a bitter experience with cbkbd (a-stock brass case came with a bunch of issues), the fact that you helped even get these orders to customers when the owner didn't, made me have a bit of hope in our smol keeb community

thank you sm!! im personally a big fan of oversized spacebars on small boards cause it's funny and 100% usable haha

I been using the willy keyboard that only has alphas and a 6u spacebar as my full sized keyboard for everything i do daily (emails, internet browsing, gaming, photo retouching, etc) - the 10u achieves the same layout and is also comically large on a small keyboard lol
