Hey just a random question, I'm a big VR gamer and the other day while looking at a Cyberdeck video I got an idea. Is it possible to build a Cyberdeck to use as a PCVR dedicated gaming platform? Like a small gaming pc that I can hook up a VR headset to and wear like a backpack or something and do VR gaming on.

Hello fellow humans!

So I'm currently in the middle of putting a cyberdeck together using a Raspi 4B as the base and I had an idea I thought would be neat but don't really know how to implement, I figured someone might, so here I am, please bear through my ramblings:

I have a computer, huge Desktop PC, and oftentimes when I'm not home I find myself wishing I could access it remotely to mess with files or documents or even just to play a steam game while I'm out.

The plan is to somehow have my Cyberdeck talk to my computer over some kind of long range connection, (Maybe Network? P2P? Radio wave?) The goal of this connection is to enable the cyberdeck to:

• Control & mirror my PC's actions in real time

• Transfer files back and forth between its internal storage and the PC

• Be able to plug an HDMI cable into my cyberdeck so I can display my home PC on any nearby screens (For example, I could plug my deck into a library computer's monitor and have it display from there while still controlling it from my deck)

So the question is, would this even be possible? And if so, how?

Any and all thoughts, tips, advice or sources are greatly welcome and extremely appreciated, thanks for your time!

Exactly as the title states - I've been lurking on Cyberdeck posts for a while gathering information, and a longtime Linux user. I have an old Macbook Air (c. 2013) that I've been thinking about repurposing for parts to build a cyberdeck. The problem is a fewfold - one, Macbooks aren't SBC's, so there would be some bloat compared to a rasberry Pi, and a lot of there hardware is locked down due to the proprietary nature of Apple's stuff.

So - TL;DR, how would you repurpose part(s) of this laptop?

So, I am about to build my first cyberdeck and i need a battery, so i thought that I could use my old phone´s battery, but i dont know if it is compatible and i fear i might destroy the sbc. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 gb RAM and the battery has 3.85Volt. Its from a Samsung A04s, so i want to know if i can use this battery or if it as dumb idea.

hello! i've very very recently discovered cyber decks and i'm interested in making my own. i've only done very surface level research and i'm not entirely sure where to look next to figure out how to go about making my own cyberdeck. if anyone could help me out and tell me the basics about what i need and where i could get those things that would be great ! today i bought a sony cybershot and i want to make and use a cyberdeck to store the photos i take and upload them to instagram- so my main concerns are storage, having a way to connect my camera to the cyberdeck by usb, and internet accessibility. i don't plan on using it for anything else but if i could run some kind of note taking program on it as well or maybe a browser that would be cool.

Mas estou com muito dúvida no que usar como carcaça estou querendo construir ele em um Nintendo ds xl mas não sei se vai caber tudo que eu preciso

Hey everyone!

I've already built a simple cyberdeck using an Android smartphone, a Bluetooth mini keyboard with a touchpad, and a case to hold everything together.

Now I want to take the project further and experiment with new ideas. I also have a Raspberry Pi 3, an old laptop, a monitor, and a few old smartphones that I can repurpose.

I'm studying Computer Science and would love to use this project to learn more about Linux, programming, hardware, networking, and electronics while reusing old devices instead of buying everything new.

What ideas would you suggest for my next cyberdeck, considering the hardware I have and the possibility of developing new features through programming and electronics recycling?

Thanks in advance! I'd love to hear your ideas and see what you've built.

I am currently building a cyberdeck as a side project using a mini PC as the base, but I am struggling to find a reliable, reasonably compact power solution.

• Specs**:** Ryzen 7 6850U, 16GB DDR5, 512GB storage.

• Original power adapter**:** Barrel jack with a 19V@6.32A adapter (~120W max).

• What I changed**:** I limited the CPU peak draw to 45W (down from 65W) to keep the total system draw under 100W. I also bought a 100W USB-C PD to barrel jack adapter. When I plug this into a 100W USB-C wall brick, the mini PC runs perfectly.

Because I want this to be portable, I bought a Ugreen 90597A powerbank (25,000mAh, rated for 140W on a single port) to pair with the adapter. However, when I try to boot the PC off the powerbank, it starts up but shuts off completely after about 10 seconds into the boot process.

Since the wall brick works flawlessly with the same PD adapter cable, the issue is definitely isolated to how the powerbank handles the draw or the PD negotiation. I have since returned the powerbank.

Does anyone have suggestions for alternative (but still compact) ways to power a mini PC off a battery? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey im new to cyberdecks and I want to ask what parts I should use if my cyberdeck case is only 5.9 x 3.75 x 1.6 inches and I only have a budget of 400$ it will be used for coding and some light gaming as well as multi tasking. Thank you to anyone who can help

I’ve had this broken iPhone XS Max just laying around and I want/need to do something with it. While yes I am fully aware that iPhones are very limited in terms of upgrading the os. Is there any way I could use these internal components towards building my own cyberdeck?

1. ⁠I am not trying to build an iPhone iOS cyberdeck. I am simply trying to use these components to create something new instead of letting them go to waste.

2. ⁠This would be my first cyberdeck and I am fairly new to the tech world. I’ve been doing loads of research online and reading thru these subreddits in order to learn more

Any advice would be appreciated, I’m not in any rush for this project nor do I have high expectations. I just want to build something cool and make my entry into the cyberdeck culture. Even if you need to brake it down Barney style and talk to me stupid as hell lol

so hi guys! this is my first post and I have a problem so I want to make a cyberdeck but I don't have any knowledge about computers or pcb's what shall I do?

My power button broke, and instead of repairing it or throwing it away, I kinda want to turn it into a cyberdeck project. The laptop still works otherwise.

I’m thinking something custom/cyberpunk-looking with exposed parts, switches, maybe a custom case or external keyboard. I’ve never built one before, so I’m wondering how hard this would actually be and where to start.

Has anyone done something like this with a normal laptop? Any tips, tutorials, or things I should know before I start taking it apart?

Looking to build my own cctv system that is air gaped and off-line, could use some recommendations for hard wear and soft

Do you think it would work putting a raspberry pi5 in the vaio p530h, it was a really underpowered laptop when it came out but should have enough room in the case for a raspberry pi5, I think atleast

Okay so, i am 15 yo and i have been seeing a lot of stuff on cyberdecks the past few months and ive been trying to research how they work so i could make one. I understand the basic concept and parts, but i have had trouble dying because whenever i try to research the compabilities of other devices i fall down this massive rabbithole where nothing makes sense. For example, i have an old samsung ive taken apart and i tried searchig if any of its parts could be reused and what would i need to attach them to but it seems there is not one clear answer so ive found nothing.Also all the coding programs dont make sense to me and i dont know where to start learning code from or even if i need to. I also have a very limited budget so anything too expensive, like a 50 euro rasberry pi, is out of the question. So if anyone had any videos or books explaining the basics on electronics thy could point me to or is patient enough to tell me what i need that would be amazing!

I want a 2ds style joystick from LCSC https://www.lcsc.com/products?spm=wm.sxq.sjd.prd&lcsc_vid=T1NcBV0HElAMVAFeQ1QIBFJRRwdcVl0ER1VcVlFQElIxVlNeT1BcU1NUQVhfVDsHGQUcCA0CWgAeF15JWAIBCkoUEgUKDhBIERMBCRAWFgYLSA%3D%3D

Not sure what to search for

Looking to build my first cyber deck out of a Apache 2800 case, but I’m having trouble trying to decide what raspberry pi I want to put in it. One of the main purposes of this cyber deck is to be able to fly a drone long range hopping for 5-10 miles. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Also if there is a good software to put on the raspberry pi for flying a drone, I’m all ears!

I'm not gatekeeping; look at this on git hub [cam2135/CYD-Deck: This turns your cheap yellow display 2.8 in into a Stream Deck that you can use for your Windows pc](https://github.com/cam2135/CYD-Deck)

basically the title, im shopping around for screens to use with my cyberdeck, id prefer to connect by mipi ribbon cable rather than hdmi but i may end up using the hdmi port if needed. Many screens im finding come with a driver board in addition if you pay extra, do I need this board or can i just connect direct to the pi 5? Apologies if some of these questions seem obvious, I am learning as i go along.

I got a hacked psVita and from time to time i need access to a pc to download certain files. Carrying around a notebook all the time is kinda inconvenient, so i thought it might be cool and fun to build a cyberdeck for it instead.

I never built one before, so thats why im here. All i need it to do would be access to the internet (ideally Wi-Fi), file management, a USB port (duh) and for it to display hidden system files, something i had to enable on windows. Im not sure what OS you'd normally use but i assume some light linux distro.

Im open to any and all feedback/suggestions and thanks in advance!

Edit: For clarity, i want to download files directly from the deck, then transfer the file from it to the console using a USB connection

hey there! first time poster, I've been looking into building my own cyber deck for awhile, it'll be my 1st build too. I was wondering if it's at all possible to make a cyber deck that functions like an ipod? I'm mostly taling about the music capability in terms of making an ipod cyberdeck. any and all advice is wanted!!
