The designer graciously declined the offer to receive a portion of the proceeds from every sale. A donation in designer’s name will be set up instead. If you have a suggestion for a worthy mk-related cause, please get in touch! I already support the QMK Foundation with 2 separate monthly donations, so might just set up a third one 🙂

A very nice board for those looking to try something in the 40% area. Very fun to build as well as it takes a bit of intricate soldering on the SMDs. Although I couldn’t get the reset button to fit in between the layers. It was constantly pushed in when I screwed the board together. So I removed it entirely, which isn’t a problem as long as you have a pair of tweezers to use when flashing.

Regarding my previous review, Pete saw it and contacted me. He then sent all the correct parts so the keyboard is now flawless

everything arrived according to descripion. The keyboard works perfectly. Building it wasn’t that complicated. it’s a very nice and particular build if you want to try something that differs from a more common layout.
