We\u2019ve all been there: your phone hits 10%, panic sets in, and you realise your charger is sitting peacefully on your nightstand at home.<\/p>\n

Australian electronics brand Chargeasap<\/b> is trying to solve that exact flavour of low-battery anxiety forever. Enter Miko<\/b><\/a>, a ridiculously tiny 30W GaN USB-C wall charger designed to live directly on your keyring. The logic is beautifully simple: you rarely leave the house without your keys, so you\u2019ll never leave the house without a charger again.<\/p>\n

The tech community is already buying into the vision. Miko launched on Kickstarter<\/a> on 9th June 2026<\/strong>\u00a0and has already smashed past 490% of its funding goal<\/b>, raking in over $49,000 from more than 780 backers in its opening days.<\/p>\n

Tiny Footprint, Full 30W Power<\/h3>\n

Don’t let the size fool you. By leveraging Gallium Nitride (GaN)<\/b> semiconductor technology, Chargeasap has managed to pack modern fast-charging speeds into a chassis that is shorter than a credit card.<\/p>\n

Engineered for the Pocket<\/h3>\n

Miko\u2019s design is impressively clever. The integrated 17cm USB-C cable isn’t just for charging\u2014it actually wraps neatly around the body of the charger and snaps into a keyring clip.<\/p>\n

Weighing in at just 47 grams, it’s lighter than most modern car key fobs. When it’s time to plug in, the US-style wall prongs fold out, letting you juice up an iPhone or Android device from 0 to 50% in just 30 minutes<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\n

Who is it for?<\/b> Commuters, minimalists, students, and travelers who want to ditch the tech-pouch bulk. If you carry a smartphone and a set of keys, Miko is designed to blend seamlessly into your everyday carry (EDC).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Availability and Early Bird Pricing<\/h3>\n

Crowdfunding always comes with a healthy dose of scepticism, but Chargeasap isn’t a newcomer. This marks the brand’s 14th crowdfunding campaign<\/b><\/a>, having successfully delivered its previous 13 projects to backers across 100 countries.<\/p>\n

The Miko Kickstarter campaign runs until 24th July 2026<\/strong>. If you want to snag one early, Chargeasap is currently offering early bird tiers at 48% off<\/b> the planned retail price.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
