KBDFans Agar Mini vs Dusk67Wireless 40% vs Wired 65%

The Dusk67 is a DIY kit requiring you to source and install switches, keycaps, and stabilizers, which assumes some comfort with assembly. The Agar Mini comes pre-built with keycaps and stabilizers included, making it ready to use out of the box, though its 40% layout has a steep learning curve.

The Agar Mini uses ZMK firmware, which is designed for wireless keyboards. The product listing does not mention support for QMK or VIA. The Dusk67 explicitly lists support for both QMK and VIA.

The Agar Mini uses a non-standard spacebar layout (3U+3U or 6U). The kit includes stabilizers and keycaps for this layout, but finding aftermarket keycap sets that support these spacebar sizes may be difficult compared to the standard 6.25u or 7u spacebars supported by the Dusk67.

No. The product specifications and vendor description for the Dusk67 list its connectivity as wired only. It connects via a USB-C cable.

According to the vendor, the Dusk67 kit includes the wooden and brass frame, a hotswap PCB with daughterboard, a plate of your chosen material, a switch pad set, rubber feet, a silicone case pad, and a barebone hook. It does not include switches, keycaps, or stabilizers.

The manufacturer claims the Agar Mini can achieve up to 3 months of battery life on its 300mAh battery, thanks to optimizations made to the ZMK firmware.

Both offer hot-swap sockets and multiple plate options. The Dusk67 provides a choice of four plate materials (Aluminum, Polycarbonate, Carbon Fiber, FR4) and its PCB supports layout options like split spacebar. The Agar Mini also offers several plate materials but is constrained by its fixed 40% layout.

Yes, the product specifications for the Dusk67 list 'Integrated Wrist Rest' as an extra feature. The vendor description also mentions a matching wooden wrist rest is available separately.

The manufacturer describes it as a proprietary system using bespoke structural silicone components at 50A durometer hardness, designed to replace conventional O-rings and gaskets for easier assembly and disassembly.

Yes, the Agar Mini listing states it includes 'Screw-In Stabilizers' and the vendor details confirm it comes with a set of Cherry screw-in stabilizers with 3u wires to match its unique layout.

The Dusk67 has a lower listed price range. However, it is a barebones kit, so the total cost will increase after purchasing necessary switches, keycaps, and stabilizers. The Agar Mini is sold at a higher price but includes these components.
