Customer Reviews
Items were delivered quickly and was provided updates for every step of the process. Items also were packaged securely without any issues.
Kit was easy to put together with just a basic soldering station. Main confusion would be around flashing the firmware onto the boards as it changes depending on the board you have purchased.
Was a fun build and will probably get a few more kits to play around with in the future.
The kit was great, and easy enough to build.
The linked instructions in GitHub were a little confusing in places however - particularly the section around attaching the display. If the instructions are followed and the display is soldered to the board, you can't easily swap out the controller when using the recommended headers.
I found though that soldering the display to the headers, and just friction plus the plexiglass display protector were enough to hold it in place without solder.
Additionally, the flashing instructions on the GitHub don't quite apply, depending on which controller is used
Some brief additional build notes could make this process a bunch easier
I’m an avid Mx switch user migrating to choc switches. I installed the sunsets on these and it just doesn’t do it for me. I’ll give it some time but I might install mx sockets on here instead.
Also note for those wanting to install the nice!view on this board. The nice!view five pin connector isn’t directly compatible with the pcb printed by keebd, you need to do a bit of a hack. May not be a big deal for some but if I had known I would’ve had the specs printed myself because I know you can get it printed with the 5 socket for the oled.
Takes a little getting used to keyboard layout.
Pcb pads fell off on one side while trying to bridge two pads for OLED. Will have to live with it.
Quality kit, but you're given like 1 extra diode if you make a mistake so I suggest looking at buying just a bit extra components. Those diodes are so small. Spent an hour looking through carpet to find the ones I dropped.
The oled display is not really compatible with hotswap controllers. Basically you solder in the hotswap headers then the controller, but after, you have to solder in the display which will cover the controller, which didn't make sense to me so I opted to not put in a display.
