Anyone know of a similar board to this one? Close in size, preferably for 1 to 4 but I’ll take what I can get rn.

I’m looking for a small keyboard for a cyberdeck project. Preferably not wireless (or maybe if it has some neat features and the right look).

Maybe something like these:

Rii Mini Keyboard K06

Fosmon Mini Bluetooth Keyboard

Looking for maybe an iPad sized build all together. Slide up screen and keyboard underneath, maybe a scroll wheel on the side. What do you guys recommend?

Looking to use the 7-24 VDC pin on the Arduino Uno Q to power it. The documentation says the current rating is “sized to 5V budget”. I am also wanting to make custom batteries for this project.

Please correct me if I’m wrong. If I were to use say 4 AA batteries (1.5x4=6v) and then wire like 2 cells in parallel, would that be enough or too much? I just don’t understand the sized for budget part. The other power input options are 5V at >= 3A so I’d assume it’s the same amps but I don’t want to ruin anything.

I’m pretty new to serious programming and have been messing around with the R4 recently. I’m planning a cyberdeck build and couldn’t find a single SBC with 4gb ram under $100, until I saw the Uno Q. I just don’t understand the hate for it.

Hardware wise it has pretty good specs for only $60 and it also has a micro controller. Looking at a lattepanda which is like 4x the price and raspberry, banana, orange, fruit bowl pi boards that are double the price.

TLDR: What is so bad about the Uno Q and is there an alternative for similar price?
