Description
5 Piece Mini Keyboard.
I took up this personal project in my garage from ideation to production after coming across it on Amazon. The idea was the make a mini keyboard with 5 of my most used keys: Space, Enter, Escape, Shift, and Delete.

IDEATION:

I wanted to have one long row with 5 keys so the case design would be a stacked acrylic concept that would house the PCB and Arduino that would connect to the standard MX Cherry-style keyboard switches.
