Pseudonymous maker “SlurpBurgers” has proven off a slick split-keyboard cyberdeck construct, utilizing Un Kyu Lee’s open-hardware Micro Journal Rev.2 as a base \u2014 however taking it in a brand new, extra ergonomic route.<\/p>\n

“My cyberdeck\/writerdeck construct [is] based mostly on a closely modified [Un Kyu Lee] Micro Journal Rev.2,” SlurpBurgers explains of the undertaking, “to accommodate the keyboard format, [Raspberry] Pi 5 and seven” display screen. It runs Raspberry Pi OS with LXQt DE [Desktop Environment] \u2014 I discovered it extra helpful than regardless of the DE that comes with RPiOS is.”<\/p>\n

This modern cyberdeck relies on the Micro Journal Rev.2, however with a bigger show and new ergonomic keyboard. (\ud83d\udcf7: SlurpBurgers)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 3D-printed cyberdeck is, certainly, a reasonably dramatic departure from Lee’s unique and later-upgraded <\/span>Micro Journal Rev.2 designs<\/a> \u2014 whereas retaining sufficient of the unique aesthetic to be recognizable to these within the know. Quite than a single-matrix ortholinear keyboard, the bottom has been expanded to make room for a break up design with a curve \u2014 just like an Alice format, however with out the same old staggered columns.<\/span><\/p>\n
