Know before you buy
To get the REVIUNG41 fully operational, you will need to provide your own MX-style mechanical switches, keycaps, and a battery if you intend to use the wireless Bluetooth functionality.
The kit comes with the PCB components pre-soldered, meaning you do not need to solder the controller or LEDs yourself. However, you will still need to install the switches into the hotswap sockets and assemble the physical case.
Unlike a traditional row-staggered keyboard, the keys on the REVIUNG41 are aligned in vertical columns. This design is intended to follow the natural movement of your fingers, which can reduce wrist strain and improve typing comfort over long sessions.
Yes, the nice!nano controller supports a wired connection via USB-C. This is also the primary way you will flash your custom ZMK firmware configurations to the board.
Because this board runs on ZMK firmware, you customize your keymaps by editing the configuration files in a GitHub repository. Once you push your changes, the firmware is compiled and then flashed onto the controller.
Yes, the underglow LEDs are programmable through the ZMK firmware. You can adjust the colors and lighting effects to suit your preference as part of your keymap configuration.
