All Micro Journal models are designed and hand crafted by Un Kyu Lee. This site represents my own views and I in no official way represent Un Kyu Lee. So, opinions and mistakes here are mine and mine alone. I just truly appreciate these great machines.
This is a preview of a project Un Kyu Lee is working on. It may be available Early in 2026, but there are no firm details yet. Rumor is that it will be labeled a Revamp of the Rev 3, but even that detail isn't confirmed. Right now it is an ortholinear mechanical keyboard that can be attached via USB-C to a phone or tablet. It is small and more portable than a full size staggered Qwerty keyboard, while giving you a excellent mechanical keyboard for use with your mobile devices. There is no battery to install or charge. Just an excellent keyboard that turns your tablet or phone into a digital typewriter.
It has an adjustable holder on the back (though I'm not sure the current design is final), or you can use a stand of your own to create different viewing angles.
The key map can be modified using Vial on your computer. That's why the two part USB cord. You just separate the USB segments and plug the USB-A connector to your computer and open Vial. I modified the Key Map to match the custom key caps I have created for my Rev 2 and moved those key caps over. It's so easy. Brilliant!
This Micro Journal mobile keyboard works great with Android. I am assuming it will also work with iOS, but I have no way to personally test that. I will find a way to do that before final release. This page will be updated when this Micro Journal becomes available in final form, but I can say that this is such a boon for working with my tablet to become a portable editing device. I'm very excited to see the final version.
