Still needs some design corrections because I just didn’t know how to properly do 3D print and industrial design but it works!
So fuckin’ sick, dude. What’s the keyboard?
Thanks mate! :) The keyboard is this board:

plus these switches:

And these caps, but the caps are lacking some symbols and for space I used the numpad 0 for now, will need to buy those separately or get new caps:
Amazingly cool! Thanks for sharing!
Heat pipes and fans for cooling? Does the exhaust go out of the wrist area?
So that’s a problem at the moment. I am using Orange pi 5 plus which is an arm processor and it doesn’t get hot by default, plus there’s a fan and heat sink on it, so I didn’t put any exhaust holes for aesthetics, but now it turns on the fan every a few minutes for a minute because it gets too hot in there plus the ssd nvme is generating a lot of heat. it’s running in about 58°c which is alright but I’m planning to add a small fan and some exhaust holes for the next version.
Super neat! I love the ornamentation that you designed for the case and keyboard. It’s a bit like Blade Runner and Lord of the Rings had a love child…
Thank you! :) Yes I often think about a different kind of cyberpunk that’s mixed with old fantasy elements and how it’d be
Future archeologists will be so confused. ;)
Sweet design.
Looks great! Would you consider posting this to [email protected] too?
Done! :)
nice! share the stls with us so we can rip you off 😉
I will definitely share them, but there are some design problems that I have to solve first, for example the hinge on the back doesn’t sit right and there’s a small gap when you close the screen, also some parts broke while assembling and I had to glue them back since I used wrong size for screws. Will fix the problems and share the design in a few weeks :)
Where’s the rest of the keyboard?
It’s a 40% keyboard, so there are two function keys, if you hold the first one the top row becomes F keys and number keys, hold both at the same time and you have media controls etc. It’s a fully programmable keyboard so you can mix and match keys as you wish :)
Nice work mate, thanks for sharing your progress with us. 😎👍
Thanks man, happy to share it with people who appreciate it :)
Looks dope! Though my first thought was something like this:
I dig the look of this.
What are the specs?
Hey thanks! :) So it’s using an orange pi 5 plus that uses a 8 core 2.4ghz Rockchip RK3588 with 16gb ram and I installed a 1tb ssd nvme Screen is a touch screen 1920×1080 and I have 14×18650 batteries each are 3500mah which in theory must be 49ah but practically it’s less, maybe the fault of the powerbank chip, not sure. it weights about 2.4kg with all the batteries but I prefer heavy than useless haha
Nice work!
Thank you :)
Trackball is fire
Thanks! it’s actually a disassembled Chinese trackball mouse that I found on aliexpress:
