“Very cool how it just 'snaps' together. Boot time is not bad either - very cool device.
Just messed up on putting the keys in the board, just make sure everything lines up before smashing it together. It was not hard to pop them out and turn them, excellent design!”
“Very good bit of kit.
Perhaps a future version could include an extra button somewhere to switch layouts.
I would buy a case/enclosure too if there was an off-the-shelf one.”
“The Build:
The build is relatively easy and the online guide is extremely helpful. Only problems were with getting a USB cable in there but I just needed to push it in more.
The Programming:
Yet again the online guide is very intuitive on how to install the OS and how to actually program the keys. It uses Lua which is weird to me but is easy to understand. Being able to go from lock screen to YouTube in two button presses is wonderful and I feel like I'm missing it if it's not plugged in
Overall it's a brilliant product. RGB is pretty, the customisation is very varied and the build was relatively simple. 10/10 Would recommend”
“Great kit and easy to assemble. Only issue was the USB cable occasionally disconnecting due to not being able to fit flush in its connector. A minor change to the spacer plate fixed this and haven't had any issues since.”
“The instructIons were very clear and the Keybow went together very easily! The only problem I had was that some of the screws on the bottom would fasten into the stand-offs, but the whole thing is friction-fit together well enough that I don't imagine that I'll have a problem.
I've already switched out the Kailh Golds for some Pale Blues I had lying around, which are extra clicky and beautiful! I've also tinkered with changing the LEDs using the included samples. I think I have a good enough handle on it now to try creating my own.
Great little kit and bonus points for it needing no soldering!”
“something I have wanted to try for some time (Pi powered Mechanical) and a nice iteration of it, could not be easier to assemble and very nicely made, cant wait to start using it make sure you have a micro sd card ready..”
“The kit was quite easy to assemble, There was no soldering involved and the instructions were very clear.
The software needs to be extended if the keyboard is going to be flexible enough to use on a day-to-day basis.
As usual there is plenty of support on the forum.”
