The Mint Board is a unique miniature keyboard made by YouTuber Flurples using the Altoids tin as the main vessel to support the function. It measures about the width of a standard Blackberry phone, making it perfect to click around with a nostalgic flair. It has the benefit of resting in its own metal case, making it seamlessly portable.
The tiny function is a tactile experience, fitting right into the pocket. To activate the keyboard, there is a small on and off switch and connecting is made simple with Bluetooth capabilities. It is small and recharges with a USB-C connection, but it is unclear how long the battery life would last on a full charge
