Summary

  • Nicholas LaBonte made a handheld computer called the Cyberdeck Handheld, which combines cyberpunk and nautical aesthetics, as well as a keyboard with a custom PCB with tactile switches and an ATmega32U4 running QMK firmware.
  • It uses a Raspberry Pi and an RTL-SDR, with a hardwood back, a bronze heat sink for the Raspberry Pi, a red PSP joystick for mouse input, and a customised keyboard made from a polymer sheet with a faux-aluminium look and engraved symbols as tabs.
  • It also has a power button and charging port, with internal connections to USB ports, the keyboard and SDR.
  • LaBonte would like to improve the device’s bronze heat sink, with extra shielding for the SDR and less noise from the keyboard, and add a camera, GPS receiver or 4G modem.
