Contra 40% Keyboard Kit

Quick delivery, quality Contra pcb kit arrived in about 9 days from ordering . Pleasantly surprised at how quickly it was delivered. Making Raspberry Pi Portable PI 80.

Had a lot of fun building the board, and I enjoy using it. One thing I'd like to say about the build experience is that my board did not come with the reset switch. I looked high and low through the packaging, but it was nowhere. Instead of having to go and order a single reset switch and wait a few days for shipping, I chose to take one off one of my other boards. A bit annoying, but I was okay. I feel a little too lazy to order a single switch for my other board now, and I just think it would've been nice if I had received one, like I was supposed to. All in all, it took a bit away from the build experience, but I still enjoyed it.

Fantastic value and easy assembly. Just be aware: if you're using the Helios RP2040 microcontroller, check the pinout carefully before soldering. It has more pins than a Pro Micro so it is possible to misalign against the board headers if you're not paying attention!

I was little concerned ordering from this site seeing how there isn't many reviews. Throughout the site. However, came completely as advertised. They even shipped it out of the facility within the same day I ordered my kit. Very impressed by that. It does sit high and very flat when using the base board. Would recommend arm rest. I 3D printed a bottom plate to put mine on an angle and lower to the table.

Very minimalist kit which was easy to put together and inexpensive. Perfect for an electronics enthusiast who wants to try 40% without spending too much. The final height is a little high so I would recommend a wrist rest.
