They should’ve given it 7u and stepped caps too :(

Overall, I think that the board is a decent travel board, but it begins to suffer from a few shortcomings right from the design. Something I don't think a lot of folks mention is the placement of the RGB LEDs in relation to the bottom part of the case. There are two select spots where you can notice dimming, and this has to do with the placement of the daughterboard and the battery effectively blocking the LEDs. While the battery has some reflective material to compensate for its blockage of the LED, the same cannot be said of the daughterboard. All in all, this leads to a dim zone on the left hand side of the board on the front region. Something that could be done about the design is to have a dedicated channel for the battery to slot into such that it does not directly lie under the RGB LED and adjust the wire as necessary so it can connect to the PCB. And, to adjust the spacing of the LEDs to have two that surround the daughterboard instead of having the single LED lie directly above it. This may incur an additional cost of making an additional LED onto the PCB, but it heeds attention to detail and gives the product the finishing touches it should have had before being released. As for ZMK, I think that the lack of a GUI environment like VIA is a compromise that has to be made to allow for easier development of efficient firmware for wireless keyboards going forward, because QMK and its subrepositories were not designed nor coded with wireless in mind, which has made present solutions act janky. The ZMK software is built on Zephyr, which is an open-source movement that is backed by companies that are in the business of microcontrollers and wireless communications devices. With time, there should be a VIA implementation that uses ZMK; we just happen to be the early adopters :P

The price is very attractive and it´s a nice looking board. But the really small battery is just kind of silly IMO. I would just use it wired and not even bother installing the battery.

I might hold off until ZMK has a layout utility. I still have nightmares of pre QMK configurator, never mind VIA. I always had to ask someone to build keymaps for me, because I could not for the life of me get them working. I see CK also has the SAT 75 X later this year for not much more though, so I may try that out instead. My Poly Singa 75 could use a friend. :)

Is there a mode where you can switch from Bluetooth to wired?

A good keyboard held back by some not-so-good choices. The battery is tiny compared to basically every other wireless keyboard on the market, and while ZMK is better for wireless boards, it doesn't seem as user-friendly as VIA/VIAL, especially for people less familiar with that side of the hobby. Given this board seems to be targeted as people who want a simple and easy custom wireless keyboard experience, i feel like the easier to use VIA would have been more suitable. This is a non-issue if ZMK has similar functionality to VIA when the keyboard is shipping to customers, though. The tiny battery is not really acceptable though, almost all new wireless keyboards have at least 2000mAh batteries compared to the *200*mAh battery this has.

I love your videos bro thanks for featuring this keyboard

Is there a way to keep the RGB underglow on in wired mode?

Will this support generic60 PCBs? Or will they sell alternate PCBs? I do not care for they layout (prefer 7u, stepped caps), and will not use wireless.

Feels illegal to be so early lmao

Plan on getting this but was hoping for a stepped caps lock... my Bakeneko65 doesn't have it but easily good. It's not a deal breaker or anything but this looks like a good travel board even though it doesn't seem to come with a case or anything. I wish I could skip the stabs though will probably just use Durock. Nice review as always!

Standard 60% PCB/daughter board compatible?

Merkeebs!how are you?, splendid traveling. have a nice day.

needs 7u stepped caps and split bs and not some silly zmk then its perfect

so the 80€ is just for the motherboard and case without the keys and switches..?

no HHKB version, sadge.

Are there other keyboards similar to this when it comes to material and quality?

Nice vid mate

mousepad name?

It’s kind of funny that it’s an $80 board but CK has you sending it back to them after the review 😂 Board is attractive overall with the pricing but the small battery is an issue since the slot for it doesn’t look very wide. I feel like that would restrict you to only a few choices of aftermarket battery as a replacement but I could be wrong.

no hollow sound?
