Kitting is still underway. • Non-modular ZMK PCBs have been prototyped and are working. Same for wired QMK PCBs. • The module versions are underway. • Manufacturer prototypes of miscellaneous parts will soon be underway (plate, feet, etc) • Renders of the final design will be uploaded soon. • Pictures of prototypes and confirmed photo samples will also be uploaded soon. • Electrocapacitive PCBs are being designed. |

How does the lid secure to the bottom case? Is it the elastic band mentioned in the parts list? Love the design btw, GLWIC
This is adorable. I bet it sounds lovely as well. Glwic :cool:
this looks really cute!! GLWIC.
oooo it's cute
Any what keycaps are on the jade green render? The colours are beautiful.
Hey, I saw this at the meetup in Seattle the other day! Looks like a neat little board. Any chance the board could support split space or more minivan-like bottom row layouts?
any news about this?About to ask the same.
Glad to see that the project is still alive! Any chance on european vendors?

There will be an EU vendor and UK vendor!
Revamped the IC + major updates!Nice to see this is still alive, looking forward to it!
I also look forward to this one - just to confirm, we would be able to order a full kit ortholinear one, correct? I didn't understand whether you fully changed the layout, or are now offering 2 layouts.
In any case this portable keyboard should be great for travelling!
Cipulot is making elecrocapacitive (EC) PCBs for the Minimi40. These will use QMK/VIA and will be available for both staggered and ortholinear layouts. Cipulot's server can be found here. (https://discord.gg/TWx7jKsUZh)Wonderful, nice to hear!
In other news, I'm waiting for the latest injection molded samples to arrive. The mold is undergoing some minor changes to ensure the best quality possible.
Lavender:Lavender is my favourite colour so far.
