Description

## Features

- Foldable. The keyboard can be folded and put in a pocket
- Minimalistic. No LEDs, no RGB, no extra keys
- Thin. Uses Kailh X switches. 2cm thick in the folded state
- Split. The two halves are connected with a 3d printed hinge
- Wireless. Uses Seeed Studio XIAO nRF52840 with BLE
- 42 keys (I use Cyrillic layout too and 36 keys is not enough)
- Apple Magic Trackpad can be magnetically attached
