A keyboard that transforms via a sliding mechanism.

Since my Raspberry Pi 5 went silent, I set up a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 7-inch monitor, a high-capacity battery, and a speaker bonnet. It works quite well as is. Now, I'm thinking about a keyboard that folds down to the size of the 7-inch monitor.

It looks like the time has come to 3D print a case for this Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W.

I tried installing a lightweight OS to turn it into a dedicated "Simplenote machine," but the results were as you see here. It seems I have no choice but to switch to a different OS.

I have performed a preliminary assembly and verified that it works.

This is a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W device designed to be held in both hands, allowing for typing on a keyboard positioned on the back.

It features a total of 60 keys arranged in the QWERTY layout. The split keyboard halves have been rotated 90 degrees; while typing is possible, it certainly requires some practice.

I am currently prototyping a portable keypad-style keyboard for a cyberdeck.

I am designing a 60-key keyboard with a trackpad that can be used while standing, without the need for a desk. It connects via a wired connection using a Raspberry Pi Pico and QMK firmware.

Simple Raspberry Pi 5 Deck

Simply a widescreen monitor, Raspberry Pi, and battery mounted on a wooden base. Cable-free with a PC mobile keyboard and wireless mouse. A part of the case's laminated board was being filed down to accommodate the adapter connector. The monitor's kickstand is used as is.

Currently test-fitting this high-density, sandwich-style compact PC layout.

>The front holds a detached compact keyboard and an exact-size bar monitor. On the back, a Raspberry Pi 4 (future Pi 5 swap ready), a speaker HAT, and a power bank are temporarily taped down.
