I can't believe it took this long and this silly of a project for someone, anyone, to think "what if we put the wireless switch facing outward"

I hope the project goes well!

This is hilarious lmao. Is that antenna on the PCB? Curious how did you manage to make qmk/vial work in bt. Did you do custom firmware?

The xteee will connect directly via USB to the system while the UDB will have its dedicated 8K dongle to work for a future project.
