3 years of pipe dreams and ideas have come together in an all-in-one keyboard, mouse and gamepad. This keyboard contains a Raspberry Pi with 2.2" LCD (sounds small, but is ideal for quick terminal access), 9 USB ports and twin joysticks.
If a bigger screen is required, just plug connect one via HDMI and startx for a high resolution GUI.
The entire case is 3d printed in 8 main pieces and held together with m3 fasteners. Despite being made of many smaller parts, the overall structure is quite rigid as the keyboard matrix (salvaged from a Toshiba Rupo) has a large metal backing which holds the 2 end pieces together tight.

Very nice! But I am curious about the Japanese keycaps, though.

Awesome work!

I’m curious about the Japanese too. What is the purpose of this keyboard?

10

Very nice setup. I would love to have one sitting on my desk.

I like the analog sticks and the lcd screen, and I’m trying to learn Japanese. So this keyboard is definitely appealing but the arrow keys are in too unique a position to me.

@kenneth_rooks Those arrow keys are a real pain to use, so I think eventually I’ll just replace the whole keyboard component with something of a more conventional layout.
