Still a work in progress. A reiteration of one I built last year. A cross between a cyberdeck and a mobile pi. I plan to leave the top open for access.

The keyboard and trackball come from a PowerBook 170 that I was unable to repair.

Future upgrades: maybe some macro buttons to the right (like c64 function buttons). Maybe switch to a Bluetooth keyboard to clean up some of the mess I’ve got going on. Next major revision will hopefully be a rpi6 build!

What I like about this most is the access to the gpio and breadboard to easily prototype small projects.

Not exactly how I planned it, but it’s fun to use! The keyboard and trackball came from a Mac PowerBook 170. Before you hate I spent hours and hours trying to bring it back to life, but a corroded battery seems to have put it beyond my abilities.

Had to move the ssd to where it is due to WiFi interference. Will likely add a protective cover so I don’t ESD kill it.

Obviously, wire/cable mgmt didn’t go quite as planned but it’s fine.

I do plan to leave it all “open” as I’ll use this for tinkering, programming small rpi projects I tend to do for my kids for Halloween.

PENDING (it won’t let me edit the flair)

Two Cyberdeck trays (only one pictured). Any color PLA. They’re a little large, sorry I forget the measurements but I know the bigger one is more than the normal 255mm wide, in the ballpark of 12”.

I think these links should work, if not shoot me a message and I’ll email them.
