Description

this project was inspired by this <a href="http://hackaday.com/2015/04/04/repurposing-a-palm-portable-keyboard/" target="_blank">http://hackaday.com/2015/04/04/repurposing-a-palm-portable-keyboard/</a>  post on Hackaday a few months back

the main goal was a) to put all the electronics inside the keyboard in a way that it still folds nicely and b) get multimedia keys working for a nice, slim, hackable keyboard :-)
