IntroductionPangea Mini is the successor to the Pangea Full Size. The mini has a similar top frame design that gives the keyboard a unique top-down look. The top frame also determines the layout, allowing users to easily switch the layout or aesthetic of their keyboard by simply changing out the top frame!
Specifications

Layout: WK/WKL/HHKB
Typing Angle: 8.5 Degrees
Front Height: 17.5mm - 22.7mm EKH
Weight: 700-1600g unbuilt
Mounting:
For the mounting of pangea mini I decided to mix it up from the previously used gaskets in Pangea Full-Size as I had already used those in a 60% and I would prefer to do something new in each design! For Pangea Mini I decided to go with leafspring gasket mounting to get a nice even feel across the board and a sound profile that lets the switches of choice shine.
