Ever wonder how the squishy buttons on the model series work? Wonder no more.

Awesome, great video haha. It’s crazy how LITTLE is on the inside. Was pretty surprised to see how small the processor is. I don’t know what I was expecting. Also, the music when he was first doing the teardown reminded me of that older Drake song lol… so that was worth a good chuckle :slight_smile:

It also reminds me of the additional layers of knowledge it takes build hardware. Aspects like how far various components are from the keyboard and where not to have solder mask don’t usually get graded when writing a review. The guys at elektron are making some some really well designed devices.
