Perfect way to eliminate Coin Battery usage

For Coin cell battery emulator CR2016/CR2032

The item is perfect for what I needed it to do. I had to light up some LEDs and didn't want the hassle of buying multiple CR2032 batteries every time they ran out, so this has helped tremendously by having it plugged into a USB cable outlet. Now I can keep them on 24/7 without any issues. Also, The seller had very good communication too and the item arrived on time.

Would definitely recommend buying from them 👍

Fantastic Thumb Keyboard!

For mini (Pi)QWERTY USB keyboard

I just received my keyboard and it is amazing. The key switch pressure is perfect and the size of the keyboard is really really great. I tested it out with all the systems I have around here and it worked perfectly out of the box.

My full sized spare keyboard is now put away. This is just a bit bigger than a business card and keeping it on the spares shelf is great.

A few details about why I purchased it:

1) I work with a lot of virtual machines at my desk and sometimes need to work with additional desktop systems and micro form factor computers like Intel NUCs. Normal sized keyboards cannot be stored cleanly and take up too much space and most of the wireless off the shelf keyboards are NOT proper thumb oriented typing keyboards. The wireless keyboards are WAY WAY too large and using them tires out your hand because the key pressure is always far too high.

I thought this might be a great keyboard to use as a spare when doing installs, quick system configs and testing. I just recieved it, tested it out for about 15 minutes and it has already replaced my spare keyboard.

2) I have been looking for good examples of thumb keyboards as I have wanted to learn enough electronics to build a blackberry sized keyboard with my own layout. This is an AMAZING thumb keyboard. I am going to try and use it to see if I can get my thumb typing proficiency up to the levels I was on Blackberries.

What the creator this device managed to do, in my opinion, is make the keyboard the perfect size. It is just small enough to be perfect for thumb typing, the feel of the switches is excellent AND having the top pcb act as a cover PERFECTLY makes this thumb keyboard feel like a usable and quality product.

3) Lastly, if you look at the Bobricious line of keyboards and computers, they all have a quality design and finish to them. There is something very odd about his design aesthetic. He didn't just make a thumb keyboard to be purely functional, he spent time making it beautiful. First, he put a top pcb on the device and used the correct size switches with a nice feel that won't tire out your fingers. Then he select a unique black and gold type of layout, which is very nice. Then, on top of that, he added artistic touches like the Bobricious logo in a cursive font, the spock live long and prosper hand symbol (awesome, love the Trek reference) and just overal really lovely use of fonts, layout and led status lights.

I love works of art and I really think the designer brings something extra to even something as relatively simple as a usb thumb keyboard.

4) I may have to buy a second one and add it to my kit. On site visits sometimes mean I need to shuffle hardware and having a thumb keyboard for one off quick config / setups might be useful.

Anyway, just logged back in to share my experience of this product. If you are looking for a thumb keyboard with really good switch feel that wont tire out your fingers, you might consider looking into getting one.

Excellent product, plug and play!

For mini (Pi)QWERTY USB keyboard

Excellent quality, truly a unique product. I plugged this into a number of different computers and it is truly plug and play.

Even better than I thought!

For mini (Pi)QWERTY USB keyboard

I purchased the 49 key fully built.

Typing this review on the board now. Definitely a thing of beauty and well put together. Top workmanship!

The size of this thing is amazing, literally a shirt pocket sized full qwerty keyboard with mouse function too! I don't think that is made clear anywhere. Yes it is mouse and keyboard in one tiny unit! Pressing the *** buton enables mouse mode meaning the page up/down/left/right buttons move the cursor and you can even move diagonally. Madness!

Anyone who appreciates security or pen testers will appreciate the lack of wireless donggle/bluetooth. Wired only. Nice.

Cons: To be fair, not many. If Bobricius was spoiling us there would have been rubber button caps. Bearing in mind you won't be writing the Odyssey, this is no big issue. Buttons are responsive but it is difficult to type at full speed at least until muscle memory kicks in. A housing would have been a nice option but i think most people interested in this will have a solution.

It's as badass as it looks and that's very!

Get one!

Cute flashing jewelery

For Solar powered flashing LED small heart earrings

Got a few of these for my daughters for Christmas and they love them! They work just as they were described and I would definitely order again

Kirill | Nov. 27, 2020

These are just cute

For Solar flashing green diamond LED earrings, pendant

They are comfortably sized even for smaller heads, but not compatible with a muffler. Blinks in pretty shitty light conditions, and the PCB looks nice (I got B type).

Fantastic little keeb. Well worth the price!

For mini (Pi)QWERTY USB keyboard

So I'm a bit of a mechanical keyboard hoarder, and I happened to come across this gem, and just had to have it in the collection. It's fantastic for pairing with a Raspberry Pi for the occasional settings menu in RetroPie, and I've got some plans to cobble together a dedicated Pico8 Pi handheld loosely modeled after the PocketChip (but now with better keys!), for on the go game coding. Doesn't take up any space, and it's got the good microswitches, so "typing" on it isn't half bad. It takes about a week for the keymap to become muscle memory, but after that, it's very easy to blind thumbtype on it. It doesn't have all the usual keys you'd expect to find on a normal keyboard, but that's okay if you're just typing a bunch of text. You don't need modifiers apart from the shift key for most work.

Besides a dedicated handheld keyboard, there's ofcourse a miriad of applications that this little keeb is good for. It's size does lend itself to just chucking it in a backpack, and you'll find a use for it on-the-go ;)

10/10 Highly satisfied with my purchase!

(ps: this was typed ON the keyboard)

Works great

For New USB Lithium Ion coin battery charger LIR2032

Was exactly what I needed and worked as expected. Shipping was fast and board functioned as expected.

Dustin | Sept. 14, 2020

Love the kit

For Bare PCB for 3D Startrek Enterprise

I bought the bare pcb animated kit with preinstalled chip. I really enjoyed building this kit and can stare at the animations for hours. I used the pastebin parts list pgvoorhees posted on the hackaday project page. https://pastebin.com/VPNC49LW Included everything but the pink LEDs. Also note, the bottom_LED_position.png is mirror imaged. So all the + indicators are backwards.

A wonderful opportunity to get introduced to LORA

For Armachat - LORA messenger with Raspberry Pi PICO

The product works out of the box. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in learning more about LORA. The messenger consists of two units. A sender. A receiver The sender just sends out packets - "hello #". The number increments. The receiver displays the senders message along with RSSI. A great duo to test out range.

INTERESTING THINGS TO DO WITH THE DUO:
I live in NYC. My plan is to send a friend to the top of the empire state building with the sender. I will be at various locations throughout the city and beyond with the receiver. That would make a nice little experiment. I wish I knew more people interested in LORA around me to help with this test. It certainly would be unique!!

Great product

For New USB Lithium Ion coin battery charger LIR2032

So, not much to say, really. Bought this charger while in lockdown in Italy. Thought it would not get here anytime soon. Came nearly right away. The product itself is really well made, works well, 100% would recommend. I'd buy two in fact, as to make charging faster and also to have a backup (the product is super compact and portable). Well done! Thank you!

Armachat prototypes are Brilliant.

For Armachat - LORA messenger with Raspberry Pi PICO

These little Disaster Radio units just do the job well. Great design and implementation from a developer who shows great talent.
Each unit works well and they communicate as you would expect.
My aim in now to add some 868MHz antennas and optimize the range, maybe also use a Gateway.
Thank you Bobricius, keep up the good work.
I look forward to seeing more of your talent.

Fantastic item

For Supercapacitor 20 LED earrings / necklace

Really cool. It has 9 different patterns including I love you and happy birthday.
Supercapacitor should last a long time. Far better than a battery.
Great design.

Yovcho | Jan. 28, 2020

Good PCB

For Bare PCB AVR fuse bit doctor HVPP HVSP fix repair

I received the PCB for a very short time. Put all parts, tested it. All working OK, already save two Atmel CPUs.

I`m happy with it.

Dafydd | Dec. 17, 2019

Absolutely love this.

For Solar powered flashing LED heart pendant, earrings

I really do.

I have bought this as a gift. It really represents me, and it's just the type of thing I would give as a gift :)

It's such a unique item, I'm sure the person getting it will absolutely love it.

Michael | Dec. 15, 2019

Pretty neat!

For Retro taking calculator QDSP6064 bubble display

What a fun toy! Well made and works nicely. It came quickly and safely and just add a 2032 battery and it's on. But alas the volume isn't nearly loud enough. Please consider a speaker instead of the buzzer for the next batch.

Connor | Dec. 15, 2019

Works great!

For Coin cell battery emulator CR2016/CR2032

Does just what I need, and will save me from endless loose CR2032 batteries around my lab. Only thing I would change is the microUSB, USB-C would be more convenient for me.

Jeet | Dec. 12, 2019

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

For Supercapacitor 20 LED earrings / necklace

If the 5-⭐'s don't get thru' to y'all, then I'm sorry what else I need to do to justify it! Everything from product to shipping time to communication is great! My only thought was: This would be even great if the entire thing's sealed in clear epoxy! Will return for more!

John | Nov. 4, 2019

Useless Lamp

For Antilamp - Useless machine / lamp

Love it! Everyone I show thinks it's a great laugh.
Very nicely made! Maybe a larger model would be nice to make.
Thanks!

David | Dec. 12, 2018

as described.

For WINXI - arduino ZERO M0 stick AtSamD21E18 SAMD21

The device works as i expect.

Best regards David Gaspar

fast shipping good product.. thank you seller good job!

Zoe | Nov. 24, 2018

Very happy with it, would recommend to anyone

For Supercapacitor 20 LED earrings / necklace

The order came quickly in bubble wrap envelope. The hooks are not installed, you need a plier or two to DIY the hook on the PCB. The supercapacitor lasts surprisingly long on a single charge. I'm planning to write custom effects, but the preinstalled ones are also neat.

Jen | Aug. 27, 2018

I love these!!!!

For Joule Thief SMD DC/DC white Led

Amazingly tiny and super simple to use. I use in solar garden light mode to light sculptures and jewelry.

Alain | Aug. 12, 2018

Top notch job,
-Artur

P.S. Product shipped on time with extra bonus parts.

Patrick | Dec. 5, 2017

Awesome little watch!

For Solar & Supercapacitor powered LED wrist watch

The build quality is amazing. Would be nice to be able to purchase a protecting case for it. It would be nice to have the same concept of the watch but with LCD or even OLED screen.

Keep up the good work!

Ken | Sept. 13, 2017

Exactly Works

Great little tiny LTC3108 breakout

For LTC3108 body heat Energy Harvesting breakout TEG

Works perfectly, very nice looking little breakout board. Other boards by Bobricius are tempting as well :)

Max | Dec. 19, 2016

Super nice blinky

For Supercapacitor 20 LED earrings / necklace

Arrived in good condition and works really well after plugging into a USB port for a short while. I got the purple led version which is a nice break from the blue and red leds in most things.
PCB and soldering were of good quality .
