Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 140K readers.

While the project page states this is work in progress stuff, the photos showed a working prototype so I reached out to SNC from yarh.io to ask some questions.

The name is quite apt, because THEBRICK, this Raspberry Pi 4 based cyberdeck with an impressive 7.9" wide screen and an integrated mechanical keyboard, folds up into a… well.. brick.

Some more pictures here: https://yarh.io/thebrick.html

Other projects on yarh.io, which btw stands for [Y]et [A]nother [R]aspberry [H]andheld, come with source files so STLs for THEBRICK will be released too once project development is finished.

The keyboard part of THEBRICK is a "Plastic Preonic", another project available on the site, which is a 3D-printable version of Jack Humbert's well-known design – with open-source case/plate files.
