Partly, today. MinimalPad runs the open-source ZMK firmware, and the current GitHub repository contains the MinimalPad ZMK configuration.
The full MinimalPad project is not open source yet. I’m preparing the PCB and other project files for release, but I want to resolve the remaining PCB issues and finish the documentation first.
Yes. Once paired, MinimalPad works as a standard Bluetooth or USB keyboard, no drivers needed on Mac, Windows, or Linux.
To configure keys, macros, and lighting, just open our browser-based configurator at studio.minimalmacropad.com/configure in Chrome or Edge, no install required, and it works the same on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
MinimalPad comes in two versions: fully assembled and ready to use, or a DIY kit with the SMD components pre-soldered so you finish the build yourself with a soldering iron and our build guide.
Either way, a battery and USB-C cable aren't included, you'll need to supply your own rechargeable 3.7V LiPo battery with a JST connector (the standard type used in most nRF52840-based keyboards) and a regular USB-C cable to charge it and load your configuration.
You have 14 days from delivery to return your MinimalPad for a refund. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging.

Yes. Every MinimalPad is built and shipped individually from Amsterdam, so exchanges work the same everywhere. Email minimalpad@unbox-studio.com to start one, once your return is on its way back, we'll ship out the new configuration (or refund you instead, if you'd rather not wait).
If your item arrived damaged, defective, or wrong, we cover return shipping, just contact us first at minimalpad@unbox-studio.com. For change-of-mind returns, return shipping is on you.
Customs duties are charged by your country's import authority, not by us, so we can't refund them directly. On an approved return we'll refund the product price and any shipping we charged, for the duty itself you'll need to file a claim with your local customs office.
