Design and Features
- 📐 The creator designed the cyberdeck with a slab-style form factor, inspired by old computers like the Tandy TRS-80 Model 100.
- 🖥️ A 2400x900 IPS display was chosen for its aspect ratio and size, and it can be powered and supplied with video by a single USB-C cable.
- 🎮 A Magic 2 keyboard was used, and a mini optical trackball made by Logitech was added for navigation.
- 📀 A 3D printed frame was designed to hold all the components together, with aluminum face plates for a sturdy and aesthetically pleasing design.
Assembly and Testing
- 🔩 The creator used JB Weld to hold the 3D printed parts to the aluminum plate and glued the power button, header pins, and keyboard in place.
- 📈 The electronic components were installed, and the system was tested with a Windows operating system.
- 🎮 The cyberdeck was tested with games like Doom 2016 and Overwatch 2, and it performed well despite not having a dedicated graphics card.
