Krisenplan's (aka u/errr000r) QAZooie project combines the 35% staggered QAZ keyboard's case with a tablet holder, mousepad and a pen-rail to use it as a modular cyberdeck.

In this successor of his previous inQAZtro, printed in PLA with stone/marble effect, the keyboard is connected to the tablet with USB-C, and the mouse with Bluetooth.

Specs

• Your tablet must be maximum 9mm thick to fit.
• For the USB-connector you have to solder ~8cm USB cable with 2 sockets (here (female) and here (male)).
• The PCB is tray mounted with 3x6mm self cutting screws.
• The powerbank holders only fit the INIU 65W 25000mAh Powerbank (here)
• QAZ PCB here (currently out of stock).
