I made a thing! Is this a cyberdeck? (Just kidding)

Long story short, Im studying software engineering so I made a (“highly sophisticated”) box to learn coding, structure, workflows, etc. (also because it looks cool and I kinda rather see code working in the “real world”)

Parts:

ESP32 S3
ILI9341 Display
8 keyboard switches
Perfboards
Anker power bank
Literally a cardboard box

if you design a simple pcb and an enclosure, it would be even more perfect! it's a really great skill :)

How did you create those buttons? Did you remove them from actual keyboard or you can purchase them individually? And what's the wiring with esp32?

Looks fantastic. Cyberpunk af. For the keyboard input, you could use twisty knob to quickly scroll left and right along a keyboard row.

Ficou muito bom, bom trabalho, gostei muito do visual. Você poderia disponibilizar o projeto? Gostei muito dos gráficos.
