If been trying to picture this setup but my imagination fails me. How would the setup with multiple dongles inside work or look like?

Yeah that would be a sweet combo. It would mean the YK would be soldered into a fixed place though?

seems like this would be a great way to add a 512GB nano USB stick. Appreciate it would only be USB 2 speed, but that wouldn’t be an issue to me. The 1TB SSD module is £125 and you lose a USB port. a £25 USB stick plus 20-30(? ish?) quid for this module is both a lot cheaper and more versatile. Is anyone manufacturing these? I have both resin and fdm printers but no facilities for SMD soldering. Happy to produce a batch of shell/casings in a variety of colours if someone is manufacturing PCBs?

Anyone else tried ordering assembled pcbs from jlcpcb? The USB-A Connector is not in Stock and the UsbC-Connector requires a “standard” board instead of the gerber-file-chosen one. Help, I’m not super-experienced in this!

If enough people are interested I can setup a larger order with JLCPCB.

We have some interest! If they are under 10 each, these people would like them 🙂

I’ve gone ahead and ordered the USB connectors (I bought all of LCSC’s stock), which is the only thing I am currently waiting on and then I will pay for 50 assembled PCBs. (was only $50 more expensive to get 50 units vs 20 units)

I fear shipping to Europe will be very expensive, the total price per unit might be prohibitive for many interested people here.

Edit, did I read free shipping?

Damn, so you’re the reason why my order got delayed. Very stupidly I ordered by first batch of PCBs as 1.6mm thick, rather than 0.8mm, so I have a ton of extra pcbs if someone wants them (note you’ll have to find different USB-C connectors).

I’m going to ask if that price is OK with the people who showed interest, probably around 10 pieces.

To confirm this supports Logitech Unifying right? Not Logitech Lightspeed?

Unfortunately my device (soon to be devices) require Logitech Lightspeed. If a Lightspeed version does come out I will buy this in a heartbeat.

Any USB wireless adapter should work, as long as it mechanically fits, it should work.

OH

I misinterpreted this project (should’ve read the thread more thoroughly first). I thought this had a Logitech Unifying receiver chip soldered in.

I will double check the size of my Logitech Lightspeed dongle and probably order this shortly.
