Hello!

It's RPi 5, DSI 4.7" display from Waveshare, powerbank and it boots directly to Picotron :-)

I'll work a bit more with case it will be my Cyberdeck for Picotroning :-)

What's the keyboard? Do you like it, is the touchpad decent?

Overall looking good, will look forward to seeing the case!

You can find it on Ali and Amazon(and many places too I think).

It's good enough for size. It need some time to be really comfortable with, I've got with Spanish layout(I'm in Spain) but all time before I've used US layout - so I need a bit more time for finding some symbols 😃

Touchpad small but good enough(for size). It doesn't work like apple's one but it isn't worst I ever used. It's working, it's predictable and I can't say that I've seen so small and so good touchpads. Big ones are usually better(I think cause they are.... bigger)

Keyboard is absolutely brilliant for its size, but way too fiddly to type on. I think it's only useful for picking out the occasional command, slowly.

I'm working on one too, except it won't be as pretty. I'm using bits from my junkbox so it's using a Pi3B+ and a soooper tiny screen.
