Nice to see! I am still slightly on the fence. It seems like a fun little board for the right price. A great way to display some keycap sets that don’t get into rotation as much as I would like.. but I can’t help but feel like it might just collect some dust over time.

I wish the Smurve didn’t have that smile logo on the top. maybe on the back or just on the bottom if at all. =/

The price was low enough for the fully built that I figured it could be a fun board to rotate in occasionally. For when I want the solenoid to alert everyone in my neighborhood that I AM TYPING NOW!
Fair point.

I totally get what they’re going for. The badge is iconic on Model M’s, with the color and shape even helping identify the era. Having some branding there doesn’t really bother me. It’s just unfortunate that this one looks like a circumcised Amazon logo. Maybe there’s room for an aftermarket epoxy badge.

It is that similarity to the Amazon smile that is definitely not appealing to me. But, some epoxy filler and a paint job could fix that. It’s just plastic after all.

As an Amazonian friend pointed out to me once, the “smile” looks an awful lot like a dong.

New project from the maker of KLC . Just the most recent 10 IC/GBs from geekhack to start, until other people import their projects from geekhack.

Oh, and here’s another firmware wizard project, this time for QMK/VIAL. I haven’t tried this one yet, but it looks promising too.
