  That looks very cool and very cyberdecky

    Exactly my thinking. Also, the built-in Ethernet port is very useful and kind of sells me on this device. I know, dongles exist and even work this smartphones, but this is neat.

    I don’t quite like how the device looks from the front though. The gap between the accessory and the display is kind of ugly - and since the gamepad accessory has a different shape compared to the others, one can’t easily design a different 3D printed case for the device. Although, maybe I could print a different shell for the keyboard and GPIO board.

      The product website says the enclosure will be available as (I guess?) stl files, so that’ll be a good starting point.

  One of those things I desperately want, no, need!, but never really know, what I actually would do with it…

  Still, this thing seems too cool to not get - and at that price, not much is lost

    Exactly, this will go in my ‘cool tech I don’t use’ pile immediately. :P

  I wish

  • Ethernet port wasn’t built in and was provided via extension.
  • there were two extension ports, one for touch devices (at least position-wise) and another for other extensions like Ethernet, usb, etc.

  That would make it ideal device for me.
