Would you build an EvilKey DIY kit?

A project log for EvilKey: I Needed a FIDO2 Key. Then the Maker Brain Took Over.

A Waveshare ESP32-S3 FIDO2 key with on-device PIN entry, a touch AMOLED, a script-driven USB Tool and an IMU air mouse. Yes, it escalated.

I am considering a complete DIY EvilKey kit based on the tested Waveshare ESP32-S3 Touch AMOLED 1.64 PCB V1, including a physical printed enclosure and a guide to assembly, flashing and testing. I am also considering a separately sold printable enclosure file for people who already own the board or prefer to print their own case.

Before defining the kit or accepting any orders, I would like to understand what would make it useful and realistic for builders. Please leave a comment with any of the following answers:

  1. Would you be interested in building it? Yes / Maybe / No.
  2. Do you already own the Waveshare PCB V1? Yes / No / Unsure.
  3. Which option fits you: complete kit with a physical case / electronics-only kit plus a printable case file / printable case file only?
  4. What would you need in the box or in the instructions to assemble it confidently?
  5. Which country would it need to ship to, and what total kit price before shipping would you consider reasonable?
  6. Which feature matters most to you: FIDO2, on-device PIN entry, the touch UI, Air Mouse, USB Tool, or the ability to modify the firmware?

You can answer just the questions relevant to you. A brief comment such as Yes; no board; kit without case + printable file; Germany; FIDO2 + Air Mouse is useful. Please do not post email addresses, shipping addresses or authentication data in the comments.

This is an interest check, not a preorder, reservation or promise of a sale. The exact contents, price, supported board revisions, fulfillment countries and launch date remain undecided. Any future listing will link back to the source and assembly instructions at https://github.com/mwr666/EvilKey-firmware.
