paulrickardsEver since I saw the Typeframe (a DIY writerdeck or cyberdeck), I wanted to build one. And so I did! I tweaked the design here and there to fit what I had on hand and my tastes. Here's the result. I'm pleased with how it turned out.
The Typeframe is modeled after the Epson PX-4 and looks like a twin. The 7.9" LCD is also a touchscreen. I chose a Raspberry Pi 5 and an inexpensive ready-made keyboard. It's all powered by a 10 Ah battery and charges with USB-C. And lots of 3D printing and cable management.

Yep, it runs MacOS 7.5 really wide 🙃

Bonkers@paulrickards I know exactly this keyboard, so my first reaction was, wtf do I see here :)
The LED highlights are awful and you can't change the color :)
@bonkers LED color is changeable :)
@paulrickards if I recall, not on this cheap one. The color palette is fixed.
Chris Combs (he/him)@bonkers @paulrickards The first two pictures in the thread show it operating in different colors.
@combs @paulrickards ok, so it's a different cheap Chinese keyboard then :)
