Title: [GB] Xikii 1800MINI -- Compact bluetooth, fully rgb, hotswap keyboard!
Post by: kawaiicheung on Tue, 19 November 2019, 09:46:08

Hello guys, I am Xikii and sorry to be late for so long to start 1800MINI GB. I have introduced this keyboard several months ago on reddit and geekhack. 1800MINI GB have been run twice before in China, so maybe some people have heard of this keyboard and this is the first round GB outside China.

About Layout:
The layout is streamlined from the classical CHERRY G80-1800, as an extension of 40% keyboard. It is similar to 60% keyboard in size but has a  numpad.

The sunken design makes the hot-swap switches more stable, and increaces the hot-swap sockets' lifespan.The redesigned integrated plate covers the four corners of switches including the below both bevel sides. Such a masterly design costs a lot of processing time.

I should be an old player of the 1800MINI, and I have been unable to extricate myself for nearly a year. It doesn't look so hard to adapt as it looks, but instead it takes a short time to adapt and you will love it. It's small but powerful, its meticulous and beautiful enough to impress people. Although it also has some problems, for example, it requires more special key caps, I also passed the author and Xikii is working with another good domestic key cap author to solve this problem.

Below are the photos I took a long time ago for your reference.

My 1800mini arrived today.  It came in a keyboard case with an internal zipper that seems to have damaged the keyboard in transit.  Several people in OP's discord have reported the same situation.
