miniZone is a compact keyboard designed to be carried with a tablet device like iPad mini.
Its width is the same as that of the iPad mini, so it can be placed in a case together.
We aimed for high practicality in spite of its small size.
Of course, it is useful not only for iPad mini but also for other tablet devices and PCs.
It is 80% the size of a conventional keycap (0.8u = 16mm), but allows you to type with fewer finger movements.
Also, functions such as LED underglow and OLED are implemented.
With [BLE Micro Pro](https://shop.yushakobo.jp/products/ble-micro-pro?variant=37665571340449), it is also possible to connect via Bluetooth.
CR1632 battery can be attached to the base by using optional parts.
In addition, a trackball is included, allowing you to perform all operations without taking your hands off the keyboard.
(Source code for using the trackball is [here](https://github.com/takashicompany/qmk_firmware/tree/minizone/trackball/keyboards/takashicompany/minizone/keymaps/trackball)).

## Bootloader
Enter the bootloader in 3 ways:
* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
* **Physical reset button**: Briefly press the button on the back of the PCB - some may have pads you must short instead
