Pilet Open Source Portable Computer

I really hate the ergonomics and quirky design choices for this thing. Are we trying to build a computer, or the successor to the "Bop-It!"? I understand the latter may be more attractive as a kickstarter, or a YouTube thumbnail. But in that respect, I can't help but feel all these modern indie Pi/etc UMPCs are designed to be looked at, rather than used.

Your desktop keyboard is not aligned to a perfect grid, your smartphone keyboard is not aligned to a perfect grid. Did the makers ever consider there may be a reason for that?

This Pilet looks interesting. Still early days though.

Probably quite useful for makers, developers, and tech enthusiasts. It has a Raspberry Pi5 or CM5 in it. Fully open source, the Pilet seems to be customizable and to be available in multiple form factors. I personally like the tablet form with the attaches keyboard beneath it (though I hope that it is nicer to type on than it looks in the pictures.

They are launching a Kickstarter soon. I'm apprehensively excited.

Dang... I should have checked before posting. There were quite a few people who already posted about the Pilet. But the video is new.
