A smaller, fully-assembled version with USB-C

[ak66666]

I used the v1.0 schematics to create a more compact version without RPi Pico but with RP2040 instead, and USB-C instead of micro-USB.
I called it Deskhop Jr.

Instead of the fully-3D printed case I used an empty PCB connected with the standoffs. Later I added a wrap-around wall to have somewhat better component protection. The exposed PCB side got very few powered lines, and I covered them with the silkscreen, so they should be protected well enough.
LEDs signal the active side - green for the right and red for the left. They are bright enough even at the modest current to shine through the translucent PLA wall.

For the next revision I made minor layout changes, primarily to move the components away from the board edges. Shorter stand-offs will be used, so it will be a tad slimmer. Holes above the reset buttons are added. Less RAM to be used (16MB is an overkill, but that's what I used from the QMK schematics, so maybe 2 or 4, or 8, whichever is available and cheaper to manufacture.)
Also I plan to make them in black, as I realize that red is not everyone's favorite color. It may make the holes in PCBs less conspicuous.

This looks super cool, I love it! Are the case decorations filament swap and a layer on top?

[ak66666]

Thank you.
Case is decorated with silkscreen print. (edit: the top cover part just an empty PCB with the same print as the bottom of the "active" PCB.)
The only 3D printed part is the wall between the boards.

@ak66666 兄弟，这个东西的链接可以发给我吗？我试了按图搜索没找到M3的，按关键字搜索又找不到一模一样的

Wow @ak66666 it's super cute and compact 👍
Are the board and case schematics available on GitHub ?

are you selling the whole assembly on etsy ?

[ak66666]

Yes, completely assembled: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/1763041320/deskhop-jr-a-keyboard-and-mouse-switch

[mujkalaszlo]

Can I buy it directly from you or should I go through etsy ?

[ak66666]

Go through Etsy please.

[mujkalaszlo]

cool, thanks :)

Can the Jr. version be updated with the same firmware as the "standard version"?

[ak66666]

Yes, it uses the very same firmware as the original Deskhop model.
it is effectively the same set of electronic components put on a single PCB.
