Check out the #pilet, SoulsCircuit's very cool retro-futuristic handheld tablet/console.

That's an impressively designed bit of kit.
Guess I have to go barter with the architecture department to use their 3d printer...

Nice idea, using 2 batteries instead of one. Now to see if it can be hot-swappable
- For the clockwork pi uConsole, which is a similar product and also uses two batteries, that seems to be the case

@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social omg I can imagine that becoming a perfect DJing computer paired with Mixxx and a Pioneer controller
- I was thinking this would be a otg deck for traveling. Adding ports galore (hdmi,dp etc) and being fully cast ready - you could dock it anywhere and take everything with you in a small form factor. Working in handheld mode on the plane, then casting/hooking to your hotel room tv with a BT keeb would be a dream. Given the customization inherent, this could blow Samsung Dex out of the water.
- @jpenuchot @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social You all are giving me new ideas now! Thank you!

@kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social Perhaps I am mistaken but in the image representative of the final product, one can see the navigation bar similar to that of #Plasma mobile.
- Oh, you're right! I was wondering why this was in KDE (despite being very cool) But on zooming in I see Dolphin and the Plasma navbar.
- @Konqi @kde@floss.social @soulscircuit @kde@lemmy.kde.social yes that is Plasma Mobile.

I wonder if that keyboard is via a wired interface only. Because something like that would be perfect for a Pico W or ESP32 so that it works detatched. I think this would be great on a desk with a kickstand and the keyboard detatched. There might even be some pins leftover for a "wireless" GPIO header on the keyboard, which would be really cool if you were using the included VESA mount for the tablet
- That keyboard looks very similar to various "mini keyboards" on Amazon. I searched for "pc remote keyboard trackpad" and found a couple that are pretty close.
  I have had a couple. Don't expect to type out a novel on it. Between the tiny layout, the straight rows, and the mushy matrix, they are barely good enough for searching for movie titles on Kodi. I'd rather use a phone touchscreen keyboard.
  
  I think it's pretty hard to make that sort of call from a single photograph, of pre-release hardware. You've used the literal cheapest common denominator of keyboards that look like this, something you could probably get on aliexpress for a dollar that's been rebranded. Besides that, I'm talking about using either one of two open microcontrollers that would make the device and it's firmware hackable, which is still much cooler than what you probably got from Amazon.

Imagine bringing a calculator to school but it turns out its just an entire desktop 😭
