I love it!

For Framework Input Cover Controller

Aside from the software not supporting the touchpad, this controller works as advertised, but (at the time of writing this) I'd advise checking https://community.frame.work/t/mod-framework-keyboard-to-external-usb/26916/27 for the software.

There is new progress on the touchpad, but from what I can tell, it's not integrated into the QMK firmware yet: https://hackaday.com/2024/04/17/human-interfacing-devices-hid-over-i2c/

For me, having the exact same Framework keyboard on a desktop is well worth the lack of touchpad and the need to tinker with the software a bit.

Works great!

For M.2 SATA SSD adapter for XServe 3,1 (2009) A1279

Works great! My Xserve is currently running Sonoma with no issues. Shipping did take awhile, but that's to be expected for overseas shipping

Works great

For Framework Mainboard Power Button Shim

Arrived quicker than I expected for international shipping and works great. Allowed me to add a power button to my custom Framework motherboard enclosure. I tested the power button and 3 color LED which worked great, but did not test the other pins.

Arrived safe and sound!

For EEE keyboard to USB, with firmware (for Teensy2.0)

Had an issue with the first shipment (lost in transit) but FairywrenTech sent a second shipment and it was fast + efficient!

The product looks great and I can't wait to use it (still waiting for the Teensy to get in, but I'm excited to see how much I can "juice" my old EEEpc with new hardware :)

Works great!

For SD card locker (make true read-only SD/MicroSD)

Granted I have not tried the permanent lock feature as I don't want to do that to any of my cards yet. The unlock and lock commands work quickly, and as expected. It is nice, compact, and does the job. Having both micro-USB and USB-C is handy for easy connectivity. I'd be interested in buying a metal case if it became available down the road.

On another note. The first one got lost in the mail, but it was re-shipped very quickly once I was able to get a hold of the seller. Unfortunately this happened while the seller was away for a few weeks, and Tindie made it confusing as to if my messages were received, or just being piled up in a queue somewhere. Once their return date (according to Tindie) had arrived, Tindie still said they were away, and the return date just vanished. So I ended up making contact via Twitter instead to make sure the message got through, and that worked. Just a FYI for any others that have trouble with messaging a seller when Tindie says they are away. Tindie doesn't really make it clear how to deal with a lost package in those circumstances. I also didn't want to just force a refund for the missing item, and potentially harm the seller's rating before giving them a chance to fix the situation. That being said, all is well now, and I'm happy.

I would recommend the SD card locker to anybody else who needs such a thing.

Very cool niche product, super friendly seller!

For KeyboardWhiz - laptop keyboard reuse wizard

Arya was very helpful before ordering and helped me figure out some cart issues. She even threw in some extra little pieces! I haven't used the products yet, but I'm very excited to have found someone making reverse-engineering tools to support re-using components in consumer tech. I will definitely look to Arya's shop first if I have other similar hardware needs in the future.

Useful Tool to Protect SD Cards from Alteration

For SD card locker (make true read-only SD/MicroSD)

I had been wanting the ability to "lock-down" SD cards in various scenarios and this devices does the trick! Cards have become so inexpensive these days that dedicating a few for a specific use is not so strange anymore. The vendor is awesome and helped me every step of the way. Good job!

Works with EEEPC 901 Keyboard out of the box

For EEE keyboard to USB, with firmware (for Teensy2.0)

I have a German Layout EEEPC 901 Keyboard which I am planning to reuse in one of my projects. I was not fully sure if it will work without modification of the firmware but after uploading the 701 hex everything seems to just work (even Tilde and Umlauts). The Flatcable connector needs some extra force to "close" and the cable of the Keyboard is very short but even with some pins sticking out, the full height will be ok after removing the MicroUSB Connector from the Teensy. This is the only downside besides the Teensys price :D.
Great little board !

Response from FairywrenTech | Jan. 3, 2022

Hey! I have no idea why tilde and umlauts work for you, but I'm very happy to hear that they do! =D Also happy to hear that it works for you on an 901 keyboard, as I don't have any of these to test. The firmware was generated by a website, and sources for that are available in the GitHub repo linked, if you ever need to fix anything!

Does the job perfectly.

For SD card locker (make true read-only SD/MicroSD)

I ordered one of these to lock SD cards with presentations for our customers.
I was very pleased with the quality of the build and the fact that I can use it on the go.
It's a great product and I am very happpy with it.

Great job!

Good looking board, good service

For Mini PCI-E breakout

I'm working with an arduino VIDOR 4000 board, and I need a hard-to-find mini PCI-E breakout board to access more pins. I ordered this breakout board and it arrived from overseas no problem. The board looks good and should be just what I was hoping for. Thanks for helping me.

I like this kind of stuff

For SD card locker (make true read-only SD/MicroSD)

Really, I like this kind of stuff!
For my work I hand out microsd's but I rather not see people use that sd for their mp3's. I mean, I am not giving away stuff for them to use it for other purposes.
So, I've searched until I found this little device. Small, handy and quick.

I had to wait a little longer before the device arrived but that was okay. I ordered it in the middle of the corona situation. I contacted Arsenijs (Tindie) he apologised and he even offered me to return or partially return my money (which I didn't think to be necessary. That's Service!

I only tried it on a SDHC (big memory card) and it worked great. I still have to try it with a newer SD (which I do not have yet).
