The HeliDox (CRKBD) is a keyboard designed by foostan in Japan. He designed this with the Minidox in mind. It is slightly bigger than the minidox with one extra column that can be broken off.
Excellent kit, and fantastic value relative to the splitkb prices on cases.
The SMD LEDs are indeed a PITA as all of the online resources will tell you. This is especially so if like me you use lead-free solder because the usual suspects won’t ship lead solder to a private address and no-one else has good quality solder. The reccommended temperature for soldering the LEDs is below the melting point of my solder.
Otherwise the kit includes everything needed bar switches and caps, and the Wave case is an absolute steal compared to the splitkb prices.
Delivery and service from mechboards is excellent, even adjusting an order where I’d forgotten something to save me a few quid in postage. (thanks MB!)
I’ll be back shortly for a Kyria when I work out what to map the extra keys/encoders to!
