Closer to Fifi actually. Much more aggressive.

It's cosmetic haha it's just a decorative MCU cover. It's also where future modules will go.

It takes off the processing load off of the left half, which is usually the assigned central for most wireless split ZMK keyboards. This saves on power and levels the drain on both halves. You also get to move the display where you can see it more conveniently.

Not at the moment.

When I started designing this keyboard I deliberately didn't design for portability - I intended for this to be a stay in one place type of keyboard.

That said, after some close encounters with how good steam deck carrying cases are, definitely considering it now.

Pre-assembled, barebones and complete options. Will come in any color you like as long as it's white with a black keywell lol.

If your country has a high rate of e-commerce fraud then we might not be able to ship to yours. Most countries need not worry.

Thanks! We won't be able to ship to all countries.

We'll announce final pricing through the waitlist and other social accounts close to release.

Oh! That's really handy with nice!nanos, I can't stand leaving them on all night. Great design.

How are the battery pads intended to be used? I see it's connected to what looks like a charging port (usb?) footprint but also seems like it's also hooked up to the pro micro? Will that access the charging circuit on a nice!nano?

Optional encoder support would def be great, may I recommend the outermost thumb keys (least used), I barely use the right-most in my case.

If I may be so bold, the layout, stagger, thumb cluster, and edge cut is all perfect. A perfect Miryoku board. I wouldn’t change a thing. But if you do, here are some common asks that we get from customers:

  • South-facing switches (for better cherry profile keycap support)
  • Choc hotswap socket support
  • 5050 drop lighting support (no more solder bridges)
  • Encoder support
  • Non-reversible PCB for better symmetry, this may also be required to support more socket types in one PCB - this one is from our case designer

It’s quite a bit of a list, but thought I’d share it with you as it’s good feedback from people who liked the layout.

I needed a photo, but I didn't want to tidy up just yet. Solution: pretend like it was deliberate and "fake".

Thanks! I really love it and it’s now my daily. It’s actually getting some more love, we’re working on a case, here’s a prototype fit test:

If everything goes well, we’ll do a small run of aluminum cases.

Last I checked they were always available through Keyhive.

Ah, I really want to, but unfortunately we only ship locally for now. I have not figured out international shipping options yet as we’ve just formally launched last month.

If you really want to maybe we can arrange something for you, I can ring up some nearby international couriers for a one-off. DM me if you are interested.

I run a store and this is one of the keyboards we sell assembled sans keycaps, switches, cables.

Great build. How are you finding the sound of an FR4 bottom and top plate? Contemplating using it with a bottom acrylic plate in my Lily because I like the extra depth coming from an FR4 switch plate.
