+The V1 and V2 are not that different, they have the same key layout, but V2 has a lot of minor improvements, so I suggest building that!

 This is the result of really enjoying building keyboards, 
 but not wanting to spend that much money on it. 
 The pcb is reversible, connected using rj45, 
 and utilizes a japanese duplex matrix, so only one
-mcu is needed(in fact it only uses 7 of the rj45 wires to 
-support 18 switches and an encoder on the right side).
+mcu is needed. For hotswap I recommend a case(pictured above),
+but soldering the switches is of course the cheapest option :)

 Some info on the [plate/case solutions](doc/plates_and_cases.md) I know about.

 See the [firmware guide](doc/firmware.md) for how to build and customize keyboard firmware.
-News: both v1 and v2 supports vial, checkout the cheapino_vial.uf2 in the releases.
+The cheapino has vial support, or you can build your own QMK to customize EVERYTHING.
+Even the onboard RP2040-Zero LED is controllable by QMK...
 
-If you just want to flash [Miryoku](https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku) 
-on your Cheapino, download the [uf2 file from the release section](https://github.com/tompi/cheapino/releases/download/v1.0/cheapino_manna-harbour_miryoku.uf2), 
-put the rp2040-zero in dfu mode by holding boot while pressing reset, then return,
-then you should get a new usb drive which you can just copy the uf2 file to.
