Agar mini

The Agar Mini represents the latest evolution in the esteemed Agar series, distilling its signature design language into a new compact form factor.

This model preserves the elegant, curved aesthetic iconic to the lineage, while further streamlining the layout to create a highly portable and efficient input device.

Appearance

Classic Design, Unmatched Portability
The Agar Mini translates the iconic Agar design language into a more refined and compact form factor, retaining its signature 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's 9° typing angle creates a powerful stance. Its interchangeable weight is crafted exclusively from PVD mirror-polished stainless steel, adding striking visual contrast and a premium feel.

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.

EC PCB

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.

EC version PCB Specs

  • 1.6mm PCB
  • support VIAL
  • Magnetic pin header
  • Daughterboard are included
  • Switch Compatibility: Naevies EC Switches
  • Support capslock LED

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.

Layout

The Agar Mini is built upon a custom 40% layout with a total width of 13 units (13U).

In contrast to more common 12U compact designs, this 13U width offers superior visual and proportional balance.
It elegantly avoids the cramped profile that can result from a 0.5U reduction on the modifiers,
lending the entire chassis a more harmonious and fluid appearance.

In its layout philosophy, the Agar Mini pays homage to the classic HHKB style while utilizing a standard staggered key arrangement.

This thoughtful combination ensures a familiar typing experience, minimizing the learning curve and
making it immediately accessible to a wide range of users.

DynaCap Overview
DynaCap is a brand built on making electro-capacitive (EC) keyboards more accessible through wider compatibility and thoughtful design.
Guided by our motto, “Erasing Compromise,” we set out to revive innovation in a space that had grown stagnant.
Previous solutions often suffered from keycap interference that dulled the signature “thock” with unwanted "clack," limited keyboard compatibility, and inflated prices.
DynaCap eliminates those compromises—our parts avoid keycap interference, fit a broader range of keyboard designs, and remain affordable.

Friendly reminder

To ensure the safe transport of your Agar PC kit, the internal weight will not be pre-installed by us. Please install it yourself upon arrival.

This prevents potential damage to the PC casing that can occur due to the weight during shipping. If you need to transport or ship your keyboard in the future, we recommend removing the weight beforehand to avoid similar damage.
