Note: it's not a free model, costs about $9.35

I thought this was pretty cool design though, definitely something I've wanted to have before.

If it’s a good model that someone put time into designing I’m ok paying for it. My time isn’t free either. But I do submit some of my designs for free just because I want people to get use out of something I did.

Edit: Plus I would love this setup for work…. a tiny little cyber deck. Could be useful in a data center for setup and whatnot. A tiny crash cart.

This logitech keyboard looks cool but the quality is horrible.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah theres so many low profile mechs that would be awesome in this

Don't bing that evil on us.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That's just a laptop with extra steps.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Yes but this way you can have both without needing a second device

Linux native laptop

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

It's way better than a laptop. I can't hold a laptop and play games with the ease I can pop this out of it's case and use.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I didn’t think it could get any bigger. I was wrong.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is cool as fuck and very cyberpunk.

Bruh why do you think the Steam Deck is called that in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yes, but Valve just evoked a cyberdeck, OP took it the rest of the way.

I've got a 60% mechanical keyboard I use with my SD a lot, some street if combined carry case would be cool.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

The Steam Deck almost annihilated the cyberdeck subreddit lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah fair enough

The render looks nice, the print, less so.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

True of most 3d prints unfortunately, although ultimately it comes down to your printer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

You can also design and orient it in a way that avoids overhangs and makes for a better print. I think this looks great, but doesn't really look like something designed to be printed on an FDM printer (on first sight).

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I dont like that they designed around the pebble, which doesn't have onboard rechargable batteries.

The mxmini would have been a better design choice and is about the same size. Dead ass if they had something like this built with the USB C hub as part of the design, I'd be buying it right now. The biggest criticism I have of the steam deck is the case. It seems like they could have designed it to be a stand fairly easily.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

That's what I'm saying. I hate taking it and a laptop when I know I'm gonna be somewhere for hours. If they made the case like a stand, with room in it for a small keyboard and mouse, I could basically just have the one device for everything I need.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

$10 isn't bad. I wonder if there's foss examples. Are the keys rubber dome?

If they're not specified, they're most likely regular membrane.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I have it, it's membrane. It's pretty good for the price.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Oh, I know that keyboard! It still reminds me of the ebox remote keyboards. I forgot mini/ accessory keyboards like that exist.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's just an off the shelf keyboard put into the 3D printed case, right? Or is the keyboard also DIY made?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

The keyboard is a Logitech Pebble Keys 2 K380s.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

@Fubarberry @Kolanaki Descriptions says to use an off the shelf "Pebble Keys 2 K380s keyboard or Pebble 2 Combo (with mouse)"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If anyone wants to print this and sell me one, I would be very, very game for that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Why not use a print service?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Just want to charge with default case closed

Ah yes, the opposite of ergonomic layout. Perfect for some carpal tunnel infused trigger finger.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

That’s very cool
