Appearance

Classic Design, Unmatched Portability
The Agar Mini translates the iconic Agar design language into a more refined and compact form factor, retaining its ignature gentle curves while introducing a delightful new aesthetic. A key feature is its ultra-low front height, which is engineered for superior ergonomic comfort, allowing for extended typing sessions without the need for a wrist rest.

For ultimate convenience, the Agar Mini comes complete with a bespoke storage pouch. This makes it easy to pack and carry, establishing it as the perfect companion for use at home, in the office, and on the go.

Ergonomic Angle and Premium Weight System

The Agar Mini is designed with a fixed 9-degree typing angle for ergonomic comfort and an assertive profile.

The bottom case is equipped with an interchangeable accent weight system for customization. This allows users to alter the keyboard's visual hierarchy with different materials and finishes.

The Art of the Curve: Sculpting a New Form

The Agar Mini challenges the conventional perception of a metal keyboard. Sharp angles do not define its side profile, but by a dynamic interplay of fluid lines reminiscent of a dancer in motion. The result is a design that feels both understated and confidently present.

This sculptural form is achieved through the use of complex, compound curves—a deliberate choice that, while demanding in its manufacturing,
is essential to achieving the sophisticated aesthetic we envisioned. For us, this pursuit of an elevated finish is non-negotiable.

Front Profile: Gentle by Design

The front profile highlights the Agar series' signature design cue: soft, inwardly tapering side curves that create a lighter, more gentle visual impression.

Departing from a conventional linear edge, the front lip is defined by a smooth, organic curve. This detail reinforces the keyboard's overall gentle aesthetic, resulting in a design that is both visually pleasing and inherently inviting to the hand.

PCB Gasket Mount

A Revolution in Assembly: The Proprietary Mounting System

The Agar Mini utilizes the same mounting structure as the Agar, designed to replace conventional O-ring systems. This design eliminates the need for specific gasket ring sizes, clip-in stabilizers, and complex foam configurations.

The core of the system is a bespoke set of structural silicone components, precision-molded to a 50A durometer hardness. This allows the core assembly to be installed or removed in approximately two seconds, offering an unparalleled level of efficiency without compromising on a premium typing experience.

Three PCBs available

The Agar Mini is available in three distinct versions to cater to different user preferences:

Wired Edition: Powered by QMK firmware, this version offers comprehensive programmability and is fully compatible with VIA, VIAL, and AVA real-time configuration tools.

Dual-Mode Wireless Edition: Built on ZMK firmware, this version features ultra-low-power Bluetooth connectivity for a stable and long-lasting wireless experience. It is fully customizable via the zmk.studio editor.

EC Edition: Powered by QMK firmware, this version offers comprehensive programmability and is fully compatible with VIAL real-time configuration tools.

Whether you are a minimalist pursuing ultimate portability or a customization enthusiast who demands complete functional freedom, the Agar Mini stands as an ideal input device that masterfully balances aesthetic elegance with practical functionality.

Innovative Daughterboard Connection:

We are introducing our proprietary "Serpentine Adaptive Connector" for the daughterboard. This unique, cable-free system utilizes a magnetic pogo-pin connection, eliminating the need for traditional ribbon cables. This elegant solution drastically reduces potential long-term issues caused by cable wear and tear, ensuring superior reliability.
