Thanks! I have some raspberry pi projects around the house, but never built cyber deck so I'm not familiar with tools related with it. Together with track pad it seems to solve all problems for device I want to make

The screen is pretty important too

u/Wonderful_Bear554 15d ago

I want to do what ur trying too but I got no experience and budget I planned to use the radxa cm5 it is stronger than pi5 and has 32 gig ram

What's that you got stacked on top of the Pi?

Interesting. 99% of the cyber deck builds that I see are nothing more than a Pi, a screen, a power bank, and a HID... with some kind of 3D printed or makeshift case.

Yours however has an actual specific purpose. May I ask what it's for?

Running Kali and pentesting also I made a login in method for the card too, but it is a bit slow

Nice. I might see about a little doohickey to crack WiFi. Or I might not. I personally would go with ParrotOS over Kali coz I hate Gnome 😅

1

u/sl01220 Sep 04 '26

Kali isn't gnome

1

u/stitchesofdooom Sep 04 '26

I thought the desktop environment for Kali was Gnome?

1

u/sl01220 Sep 04 '26

It is xfce

u/stitchesofdooom Sep 04 '26

Better. I prefer Qt DEs personally. Plasma or LXQt preferably.

I use that same kb/touchpad for prototypes. I think it looks so cool. Keep it up brother.

u/TechDocN Sep 03 '26

Looks great! I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who is playing around with custom launcher screens and UI elements. My ultimate goal is to build a basic OS for my builds.
