The products you see here are all DIY projects. Each should have a write-up to assist you in building it on your own. I encourage you to take your time, adjust the design to your needs, and follow the step-by-step instructions. If my guides are missing key steps or fail to address the problems you encounter, feel free to reach out to me. However, please attempt to solve the issue yourself first. I likely faced similar challenges and found solutions that work.
I will personally build each product with my own hands and arrange for its delivery through someone else's. My creations have endured four-year-old's hands and elbows and seven-year-old girl's indifferences. Please treat my products with care and appreciate them with passion and love.
Yours sincerely,

Micro Journal Rev. 6 Typing Test. No Talk. #asmr #mechanicalkeyboard #microjournal #freewrite
not a fan of blue color, but I like this kind of blue and beige. Not sure why the name is Hong Kong tho, I guess I will wait when the buyer receive it and share their story.
I liked blue with beige. It goes so well. I felt like hong kong when naming it. I should ask the buyer if wants different name
Amazing colorway. Maybe should get the rev.5 with blue as a base color! Also the match with mint is fantastic!
Mint goes so well with any bright tones. I like it a lot. Blue is a great color for me and I discovered this time that also with beige goes so well.
Where can I buy
Should be available at my tindie store www.tindie.com/stores/unkyulee currently there are quite bit of waiting list so it stock may get sold out quickly. Check the restock time on the product description.
Noice
No, you are noice
I'd love one of these with a portrait screen to mimic a typewriter
yeah, that sounds like a great idea!
if u made the pcb hotswap, it would be a fun build project to do w my own switches and keycaps 🙀
sure, not sure if is the right word to use tho. It is hotswappable
Oh, elegant? Of course. I’m totally not gonna spend hours writing dark smutty humorous fiction at all when this arrives 😅 you outdid this self and you nearly had me there. I thought “ain’t no way ai could create that art.” Not gonna lie, I live for your trolling. A good chuckle! Also, 5 days is perfectly enough amount of time for a gift. Go get it back. Now.
hahaha thanks! I should be printing a new one around christmas and start working on it. I can't wait to dive into rev.7
@@unkyuleeI’m so excited for you to dive in (and for all of us to observe). It feels like awaiting the sequel of a book. I’m exited about little darling here. You made my year with this video. The simple pleasures.
Beautiful model sir I am eagerly waiting
I can't guess which build you are on, but I am building vigorously these days. Your will be shipped or arriving soon.
April Fool but it's November... This Black Purple Red looks like the sibling of the Purple Lila Red Grey
Oh, already november? Time flies. My first build was in Januaray and yet it's already november.
@ oh no, you were actually building writerdeck with time machine
it this device could run chatGPT that would be perfect.
It's raspberry pi zero 2w, and running linux on terminal. So, depending on your knowledge, I believe it is certainly a possibility.
I LOVE the design. But I hate that it doesn’t have a normal « large » spacebar.
@@swisswildpicsswp3095 me too
Interesting color way, is Uki the owner of this micro journal? Before I read what you write, I thought maybe Uki is Sasuke from Naruto, and Sasuke's eyes are red and black. About boxes, back in college day as art student, whenever I made an assignment I had to make the envelopes or boxes for the artwork, and I used to hate making boxes. So I really appreciate people who make boxes for living.
Ah finally waited so much for your comment!
Nope unfortunately 😂 I requested this colorway with Uki Violeta 🔮 and Fulgur Ovid 🐑 as inspirations, Vtubers who mean a lot to me since I came across them.
@@ririmeee6111 ah I see.. it's interesting to know the story behind the color and the name.
cool devices. any chance to blow up the font to 15+ and do a silenced keyboard - for outside the house write decking?
Actually I am planning on a device that can be connected to any device with HDMI for building a writerDeck with any displays and any keyboards or could be a entire build based on that. Should be coming in the future iterations.
Is it hard to go from a staggered keyboard to one like this?
Something like the following is in the pipe, www.reddit.com/r/writerDeck/comments/1gsqmpl/thanks_for_finishing_a_book_with_the_micro/ I iterate quickly and I am planning on many iteration with staggered keyboard.
I almost can't read the text :(. But again, nice design! The yellow is really good not the neon greenish yellow.
Oh... I don't know what to do with the text. Next video will be with rev.6 and that should be easier to read
I cannot wait for my bumble bee to arrive! And indeed, Hook is amazingly supportive and encouraging from personal experience. In a similar way I wonder if he loves my writing more than I do 😅
I think Micro Journal corrupted him. Too bad. He was a nice reviewer.
@@unkyulee I thought it was the other way around... I corrupted the Micro Journal. ;-)
@@Telehook you did everything and anything about micro journal. Take it and live happily ever after
Great look. Did you extend the moving knobs or change the design?
Oh... I think the knob hasn't been pushed well in. I had adjusted a little bit but like 1 mm...
Can't wait for it to arrive!! I looks lovely ❤️
Thank you. I feel really good to create something that you would yearn for. I hope you like it when you receive it too!
I've wanted to build this sort of thing, a typewriter-computer, for a long time. I don't know why, there's just something lovely about it conceptually. Currently I just plug my little 40% into my phone but a proper Linux terminal would be way more useful. Personally I'd try to send notes into my Obsidian database...
It all starts like that. Some people calls it rabbit hole, I call it a happy trap. Enjoy your journey!
Oh my god I love this!
I am think soon, we may see someone with yellow white dress holding this version.
What a neat idea! I'd love something mini like this to tote around 😊😊
Haha, true. It's such a unique item to be around with.
(It is just a coincidence, I am not intended to be a stalker, I just happened to open TH-cam, looking for reference and there is a new micro journal video) This time it made me shouting OMG!!! The color combination is very good. While I always say the other color is good too but this one is my favorite so far!
@@dessytab4405 puhahahahahahahahaha stalk all you wish. I always wait for your comment so i am also stalking so win win
@@unkyulee LOL! now that I use my laptop, I can read the screen. Good luck on completing the orders, please take a rest and stay healthy, because there's a huge possibility that you will be busy on 2025 too after releasing the rev 7.
Nice colors 🔥🔥
Thanks for all the effort. I will stay patient and be cheering on you!! 너무 무리하지 마시고 건강하시길 바라요! 감사합니다 🙂
@@harveyanywhere thank you. I pushed a bit by mistake but this week started to recover all the delayed orders so, back to the routine.
Would you consider letting highly interested buyers preorder btw? I know its a long shot but i wouldnt mind paying extra to ensure I can get one when you restock
I am trying to see what would be the best way. Constraints are that I can't build too many and tindie system currently asks people to compete to order regardless when they enlisted. I wish there was a system where it would send out notification to those who arrived earlier and fill up in that order.
Cant wait for you to restock these. Im on the waitlist and just hope to see the notification before they sell out
I have a strong feeling that this month would sell out rather quickly. I acknowledge the issue.
I like this! The gray orange is also nice.
I am slightly more on the gray version. But that's really the matter of the personal preference. Both look and feel great!
Hello, I am a Korean studying in the US! Can I use Korean here? Also, I would like to ask if customized colors are also an option with customization fee. I wish there is a blue, sky-blue color!! Thanks for developing such an amazing writing device. I hope I get an response :)
I have received your email. Thanks for your interest. Using Korean language should be possible in theory, but I haven't tested yet. I am planning to test this out during this month. For the customization, I don't ask for extra fees. It's important for me that users receives what they want to receive.
getting an analog/old school feel with a digital device, what a beautiful project <3 kinda feels super futuristic and retro at the same time, I love the design as well!
Futuristic and retro at the same comes to be as a great achievement to me. I enjoy very much designing and proud every time when some one likes the look of it. Thanks!
Dang, I need one of these. I have intense paranoia with writing in public (grew up religiously and have some trauma of getting in trouble with writing about tv show reviews, yeah, my parents were weird lol). I gotta save up for one of these, hopefully in time for the restock!
I write some stuff there, and it gets public, there is some blocks to write freely when knowing that people may look into details of what I write. But in general, I just write what I think at that moment. Writing process itself is a relieving process for me. Don't really care what was the content.
Really fun project and congrats on the 1k! 🎉
@@primalaspid7197 uuuuuuuu! I didn't notice. How amazing! Haha. I just watched my very first video of the micro journal and it's been just half a year ago. Felt like an eternity and infinite things happened in between. Thanks a lot for the comment !
@ I saw the 999 and I had to complete it haha. Looking forward to future projects of yours! :)
классно, когда знаешь всего один язык, каждая кнопка под одну букву
The keyboard system is based on QMK - Vial which you can assign other language keys as you'd prefer. Challenge would be how would you lay them out in 48 keys.
Афигительный девайс! :)
No, you are fantastic!
The colorway and the name is very cool! Sadly this time I couldn’t read what’s on the screen, gotta try with my bigger monitor
Same here I was sad I couldn’t read it due to the angle.
Oh... it's been some time I have taken videos, I will make sure to keep it in a proper angle next time.
Wow, this looks sharp! And pretty delightfully Halloween-ish
Nice catch. User intended for halloween theme.
What's your favorite color? If it's the Jurassic Park, what's your second favorite?
My favorite is grey orange. Then the second is vivian
@@unkyuleeHahahahaha 🫶🥹
I love this color scheme. Unfortunately, I missed ordering one again due to teaching doubles (night and day classes 😅). Whenever I am able to make the restock time I will probably choose this one. It was my plan after seeing it hadn't been chosen yet and I liked the colors after seeing it on the other model with the smaller screen as well. Great work friend. 👊
When you miss the next restock, try to message me in tinde and we will see if we can find some solution for you.
@@unkyulee Appreciate it friend. I will try not to miss the next restock. 😂
Almost at 1k!! I've been missing your videos, glad to see you back
almost.... alsmot! I have been missing my videos too. Glad to hear from you again!
@@unkyuleeYou too! I'm always lurking and always checking the Tindie shop but never fast enough 😂 Still trying though and waiting for restock
Finally a new video! I like the colorway, the grey here looks a little bit like green. Coincidentally I have printed some spare knobs in resin for my green microjournal (I have to try, okay). The resin is red but the result looks more like orange, so in a glance (maybe because of the lighting), this grey orange microjournal looks similar to my green microjournal with the orange resin knobs. Ps: sorry I have to edit my comment after I reread the title, I thought it was green orange.
Finally, I got some time to make a video. This one I took in too dark place. It is grey color base and orange accent. It's my favorite colorway but it's not really clearly displayed. Dang.. when will I ever get better in videos...
Looks amazing! Does this keyboard form-factor handle the Dvorak layout?
I have configured for someone who requested dvorak and had enter and shift keys in the middle. Seems to be viable
@@unkyulee Awesome! ...and Korean works too?
keyboard layout is excellent for those of us who do blind typing
it's quite natural to get used to. I like this keyboard and layout. I think it's the smallest keyboard with fullsized keys.
Can you edit any, multiple, files from the synced drive? What formats are supported, plain text I assume.
it's linux (raspberry pi zero 2w) and currently it is setup to use wordgrinder for writing. It is a general computer hardware. So, I would ask you back would you be able to setup to edit any multiple files from the synced drive?
Dude this rulessssss
dude, you rule!
The sound of typing is soothing, I feel like I'm going to sleep rn 😴
I also want to sleep rn.
Has anyone ordered from the US? I don’t want to get hit with customs that I’m not expecting?? I’m in Colorado. Any guesses on cost?
Shop link in the description. Yes, many orders from US. Haven't had any issues with customs.
Better View of Microjournal Rev. 2 www.reddit.com/r/writerDeck/comments/1gniczo/better_view_of_microjournal_rev_2/
this is exactly what I've envisioned in my workflow for the last couple of years, thanks for bringing it to reality.
What a nice to comment to start a day. Thank you!
THIS ist such a nice and cute and useful thing...i have so many questions. FIrst, i hope it'll be available for order sooon again, shipping to germany (?), and is it possible to insert our umlaut-keys (ö, ü, ä, maybe even awkward-but-beloved ß) ?. Are there more key-colour options (like bold colour keys)? Thanks in advance, and all the best from berlin!
Thanks for your passionate interest. I live in Italy, so yes, I can ship to Germany. The Micro Journal Rev.2 uses a popular keyboard system called QMK - VIAL and it allows you to assign umlaut-keys. I have maybe 3 keycaps and I use them as I source them, if you have specific keycaps that you want, I can source for you. You can also order without switches and keycaps and source them yourself when you already have your preferences. Here are some keyboard resources regarding german keys www.reddit.com/r/olkb/comments/uqc4nj/german_olkb_users_how_do_you_do_your_umlaute/
this reminds me of my first DOS laptop in 1994. fuggin nostalgia
I got inspired by some beautiful and old typewriters, probably, those old laptops had similar vibes. Nostalgia is a good feeling for sure.
...but why?
I don't know
I wish you had these available on your website still
You are right, this colorway was not on the color options. I have added it now. Thanks for noticing it. I do restock on a weekly basis. Should be available again next week.
