Yes, the Mini will ship with the ZMK firmware and will work as a BLE+USB keyboard and mouse out of the box 🙂

Oops, just realized that the pads were missing vent vias. If you started using the library, please update your footprint from the repository!

The Basic is our first product using the KeebDeck Keyboard, a cost-effective way to demonstrate the capabilities of the Keyboard. It works as USB HID over USB-C. Also includes an unpopulated Qwiic footprint with an I2C interface compatible with our previous BBQ20 boards

Next to it is a Qwiic footpsint and multiple test points with labels for theirfunctions. There is also text saying "KeebDeck Basic" "by arturo182". A photo of the KeebDeck Basic with the top cover removed, some of the components are visible, and some are missing. The dome sheet is also visible.

The KeebDeck Keyboard is the result of years of R&D to create an affordable and widely available handheld keyboard for makers and hackers. The result is a compact (85x48 mm) 69-key alphanumeric silicone keypad with an orthogonal layout based on standard PC keyboards.

A photo of the top and bottom of the Silicone Keypad, the bottom is all white with some actuators that are meant to press on the dome sheet domes. The top has lots of keys in an orthogonal layout. A photo of the top and bottom of the Metal Sheet Dome. The bottom has an array of metal domes stuck to it, the top has a backlight diffusing layer with laser-etched dots, and 8 strips of black tape where the backlight LEDs go. A 3D render of the keypad and dome sheet sandwiched between two PCBs, showcasing the assembly stackup.
