That's the problem with 3d printed stuff. It makes for great prototypes but it makes for a lousy finished product. Those old german military aluminum boxes look amazing as well as the authentic typewriter keycaps.
This is absolutely amazing. Legitimately looks like old military hardware, it's multi part nature even plays to it. As the original purpose for the supply box showed, radio sets, etc rarely came in one chunk, but were a set of modules that could be interconnected.
I actually really like the fact that it's a split keyboard multi-module cyberdeck. Really unique and has a wonderful rustic used-future charm. Brilliant idea with using an old typewriter's keycaps!
wow. the look is just spot on. great keycaps, and I love the spiral cord. If I had to change anything, the top halves of the keyboard enclosures look a bit empty. maybe add a large solar cell, or some kind of reference sheet or something. but man, this thing is stunning!
@@MakenModify I've been reading up and watching videos about cyberdecks this month to try and build up confidence to start, and honestly, there's something about the way you explained things that made the subject seem less daunting.
@@draeci hehe thank you. It's not so hard, but it took me a while to find/chose and get all the parts. I think almost a year but final assembly were mostly in one day. Have a look at the CyberdeckCafe discord if you have not already. Lots of help there ;)
@@MakenModify your patience definitely paid off! :) I have been meaning to join but I'm very conscious of how little I know and don't want to annoy people, so I will do a little more reading first. ♥️
This is very cool. I tend to collect military cases as well and am always interested in seeing what others do with them. Might be cool to add 2 more touch screens, one to each of the keyboard halves, then have them connect via the USB keyboard connector. Just a thought...
I like the fact that even thought this cyberdeck is split into 3 parts, somehow this makes sense and it looks amazing as a whole product, starting with the case.
@@Klinkertinlegs hehe, nice ;) yea i don't know if I would recommend anyone to build it. I just did it because I suddenly had the picture of this deck as an idea stuck in my head. There are more practical decks out there 😅 I see this one are as an art piece :P
This is awesome, the whole old german military theme looks so cool. On a side note: If you grow out your side burns, you would be the splitting image of our great Kaiser Wilhelm the first. :)
a descriptive tutorial on how not to get your computer through airport security. love it! Great job on using the resources available to you in such a unique way. neat cyberdeck build!
@@MakenModify appreciate your reply! I also thought later that the split keyboard is very popular now so there is that as well. Having watch quite a few more cyberdeck videos, I just wanted to let you know you that this video is really awesome. Look forward to more.
Man, super nicely done. Could easily be a piece of Militech Gear. :) Love the Look with the Typewriter Keycaps, it fits perfectly. (Und der Vorratskasten hat ja eine ganz fantastische Größe für ein Project-Case, da werde ich mal Ausschau nach halten. :) )
Obviously it's because of the way the cyberdeck came to life, but it's obvious that the usb connector should have been on the right half of the keyboard where the usb of the pi is, so you'd only need a 5cm cable to hook it up. Other than that, IT"S FRIKKING AMAZING! Great job!
Geile Optik!! Als Funkamateur hätte ich mich vermutlich noch für die ein oder andere HF Komponente entschieden. Da mag ich den HackRF One !!! Oder einen günstigen SDR Stick.
Very cool aesthetic. I like the modular and the army look, combining both is great. sehr cool gemacht, auch glücksgriff die idee dafür im müll gefunden zu haben xD
Very nice, thanks for sharing. Add some LCDs to the keyboard enclosures showing some more retro future military displays (PC temps , CPU etc ;-) Well done!
Space constraints are a thing I’m sure, but it’d be cool if you could do this using only two boxes! Still a split keyboard, but maybe use the lids from the keyboard for dual screens and drop the trackpad.
was actually think about something similar but then there would have to be a lot of connections between the halfs. But the first intention was to build a keyboard and so that grew from there ;)
Sweet build, subbed on that mustache alone sir haha. Can't grow decent facial hair to save my life lol. Would be cool to have a dual monitor on that setup, though I imagine it would make the build a little tricky for cables etc. Looking forward to more vids, nice work!
if you can 3d print a plate to push into the usb ports and cover them up to keep bits from going into them that would help maintain the look of the case and be functional also. do the earphones work with that setup
hehe yea that was mostly for the look and feel. Waterproofing would have needed other connectors which take up so much space that these boxes would have been to small ;)
Amazing! What a cool project. I'm not sure how many displays the raspberry pi supports, but it's exciting to think that something like this could potentially have 3 screens haha
so cool! saw it on the cyberdeck cafe stream a couple of weeks back, awesome to see a bit more of it. The paint job on the outer case is fantastic, how did you get the peeling off paint effect? and the brushed aluminium look of the bare metal parts look great, is that just a little of the layers of the print showing? Really looks like metal.

No offense to anyone else but this is the best looking Cyberdeck yet.
By not a small margin either
It is absolutely brilliant. I audibly gasped when I saw the finished keyboard!
That's the problem with 3d printed stuff. It makes for great prototypes but it makes for a lousy finished product. Those old german military aluminum boxes look amazing as well as the authentic typewriter keycaps.
It is so beautifully over engineered!
I beg to differ
This is absolutely amazing. Legitimately looks like old military hardware, it's multi part nature even plays to it. As the original purpose for the supply box showed, radio sets, etc rarely came in one chunk, but were a set of modules that could be interconnected.
Hide this in the Aliens movie and nobody can tell it's not where it belongs

Those key caps NAILED it. Very nice work.
thank you ;)
Fantastic build, absolutely love it. I can see this finding a place in some spy movie as a fully functional prop, it really looks that good.
Amazing work!
Keycaps look amazing.
Very concise units, command an audience.
Seems like something that would have been used in the unification war in the cyberpunk 2077 universe, hella dope choom!
this is what a cyberdeck is meant to be.. A kitbashed/Hacked together Portable PC.. love this one..
Was not expecting to like this one at the start but after seeing it @6:14, WOW its amazing! Love this build
by FAR the coolest shit I've seen this week next to cryptography
The sound of the keys were amazing :)
An incredibly beautiful Cyberdeck build. Thank you for sharing!!! That keyboard is gorgeous.
One of these with some lead shielding applied is a computer for the apocalypse. Bravo sir
This video made me throw my feet around while sitting in my chair. What an amazing build, I’m excited to see how creative this community can be
Hehe, glad you like it. Yea cyberdecks are a great creative hobby 😁
Thank you so so much for showing your process. This is not only a gorgeous project, but your video is very calming and reassuring. :)
thank you for your nice words 😊

Na das ist mal ein Cyberdeck der ganz besonderen Art!
Amazing!!!

Yea thought of it but the keyboard was to high (no space for the screen). But should be doable with a lower keyboard👍
I would prefer a much smaller cyberdeck but that keyboard is giving me Big Thoughts on my next build.
Best military grade cyberdeck of all congratulations
What an epic cyber deck... looks more like something you might actually see in the apocalypse! (and be capable of surviving!)
Hehe thank you :)
Those old typewriter keycaps were perfect. Great build, great ch.
I like the fact that even thought this cyberdeck is split into 3 parts, somehow this makes sense and it looks amazing as a whole product, starting with the case.
Hehe, thank you! Yea it was planed as split keyboard first but then i had extra boxes and just had to make it a deck.
I have no reason to, nor desire to, build a cyberdeck, but I've watched many videos, and I think you by far have the best one.
Thank you :)
I showed it to my wife, who I would have thought the idea was silly, and she just said "You should build one". She overestimates my skill. lol
@@Klinkertinlegs hehe, nice ;) yea i don't know if I would recommend anyone to build it. I just did it because I suddenly had the picture of this deck as an idea stuck in my head. There are more practical decks out there 😅 I see this one are as an art piece :P
First 5 seconds impression : i'm jealous of this moustache
That looks great and it is better than military equipment, it works. Nice Job,
thats the coolest cyberdeck ever made :O
i LOVE the military look :D
Alter, irgendwie hat mir TH-cam diese Cyberdecks empfohlen, aber deins ist bis jetzt am apokalyptischstem. Genial.
This is awesome, the whole old german military theme looks so cool.
On a side note: If you grow out your side burns, you would be the splitting image of our great Kaiser Wilhelm the first. :)
xD yea maybe when I'm past my 60s ;)
a descriptive tutorial on how not to get your computer through airport security. love it! Great job on using the resources available to you in such a unique way. neat cyberdeck build!
Thank you. Yea I guess they would a least be interested 😅
That looks extremely impractical but absolutely stunning 😂
Hehe yea it is. The keyboard is ok but yea, practicalitie was not the highest priority 😁
Dude Well done! I'm very impressed. Now all you need to do is add a Communications deck and a joystick and you can remote pilot a dropship from orbit.
Super gemacht! Very well done!
My cyber decks will always be my two favorite computers. The Panasonic Toughbook CF19 and 31. I own three and looking for more all the time.
One of the most impressive cyberdecks I've had the pleasure of seeing.
wirklich beeindruckend und all das ohne Heißkleber!
yoooo, this is by far the coolest cyberdeck or should i say vintagedeck that i've ever seen
That is amazing, really great work. One, minor suggestion. If it were possible I would try and put the keyboard into one box and have it fold out.
Tried that but would not work with mx style switches. Maybe with sol low profile ones, but that would also mean different keycaps.
@@MakenModify appreciate your reply! I also thought later that the split keyboard is very popular now so there is that as well. Having watch quite a few more cyberdeck videos, I just wanted to let you know you that this video is really awesome. Look forward to more.
Wow I picked up Adler caps this week and today I see this. Love it.
Man, super nicely done. Could easily be a piece of Militech Gear. :) Love the Look with the Typewriter Keycaps, it fits perfectly.
(Und der Vorratskasten hat ja eine ganz fantastische Größe für ein Project-Case, da werde ich mal Ausschau nach halten. :) )
danke :) Aktuell scheint's noch genug auf ebay zu geben.
Love it, super unique and looks like some sort of military cyberdeck
Amazing job! Great aesthetic and brilliant execution
This is EPIC! Looks really goood!
Nice look and sound is great
Die Tasten klingen klasse!
Danke :D
Whoa, that's a mighty cool project! Military precision :)
thank you :) would not go as far as calling it precision but good enough I guess :D
00:38 yoo that's my post about the m5stack faces haha, it's a neat find, anyway pretty cool little device you made there man.
Very cool execution, not sure if it works as an actual Cyberdeck. But I very much like the look of and operation of the system.
This is so awesome! I have to build this or if you have the ability to make the same keyboard I would 100% buy it. So cool.
“Are you jacking in yet?” “Ja “*is just undoing the compute module*
Looking like something out of Fallout Boy
Obviously it's because of the way the cyberdeck came to life, but it's obvious that the usb connector should have been on the right half of the keyboard where the usb of the pi is, so you'd only need a 5cm cable to hook it up.

Great job!
Yea there are many things that could use some improvements but wanted to get it done. Thank you for your feedback and kind words :)
„Mobile teilmechanische Schalteinheit“, da hast du echt den Stiel getroffen 😂👌 2:40
Geile Optik!! Als Funkamateur hätte ich mich vermutlich noch für die ein oder andere HF Komponente entschieden. Da mag ich den HackRF One !!! Oder einen günstigen SDR Stick.
hehe ja etwas kleines würd noch beim Bildschirm hin passen denke ich ;)
Cool build I think I'm going to build a hackers themed one. Facilitate movie of all time.
cool vid man, love your aproach of the cyberdeck. keep up the good work!
Wonderful, as well as beautiful!
nice build, i feel like the inside of the keyboard lids could use some stickers. or SD card holders.
Good idea 👍
Damn. I sort of want to make one like it but I can’t imagine a use for it.
Cyberdecks are awesome
The keys sound great too! What a cool build
Very cool aesthetic. I like the modular and the army look, combining both is great.
sehr cool gemacht, auch glücksgriff die idee dafür im müll gefunden zu haben xD
this video inspires me to make my own cyberdeck
This is awesome, happy to hear 👍 the cyberdeck café discord is a great place if should need help along the way 😉
Amazing project
Thank you 😊
Damn dem key caps.
Epic deck! I think the keycaps make the whole thing 👍👍👍
That's flippen rad dude
Awesome.
This bad boy... Uuuh, I agree with those who say that this is the better looking of them all.
Looks like it could be ruggedized a little more perhaps a inter lock between the three parts so it could take a drop if it were knocked off a table.
Brilliant build. Thanks for sharing!
quality design and construction. thank you!
Very Nice
i want comics and cartoons to be inspired by this and make something
It makes you wonder what kind of world would have something like this and why.
Very nice, thanks for sharing. Add some LCDs to the keyboard enclosures showing some more retro future military displays (PC temps , CPU etc ;-) Well done!
This is dope.
Space constraints are a thing I’m sure, but it’d be cool if you could do this using only two boxes! Still a split keyboard, but maybe use the lids from the keyboard for dual screens and drop the trackpad.
was actually think about something similar but then there would have to be a lot of connections between the halfs. But the first intention was to build a keyboard and so that grew from there ;)
@@MakenModify you could run the battery in one half and the computer in the other. Then you'd only need keyboard and power connectors.
@@Starfireaw11 didn't you say dual screen? 🙃 anyways you could do many things differently but that's the idea, just make it the way you want it ;)
SICK!!!
I want this so badly.
Danke, love this!
Bro aún no lo veo completo pero ya la di like porque nunca decepcionas shkskf
hehe muchas gracias
Sweet build, subbed on that mustache alone sir haha. Can't grow decent facial hair to save my life lol. Would be cool to have a dual monitor on that setup, though I imagine it would make the build a little tricky for cables etc. Looking forward to more vids, nice work!
Awesome! Thank you! 🙂
this is super slick. i like it
Sooooooo clicky!!! I love it!
if you can 3d print a plate to push into the usb ports and cover them up to keep bits from going into them that would help maintain the look of the case and be functional also. do the earphones work with that setup
Yea might do that. The earphones work but not with the deck, since there is no audio out port atm ;)
I love your shirt
Thank you. Not everyone gets that ;)
Super gemacht... bin beeindruckt.
oh man those keys sound great! great job!
Thank you, combination of switches and case i guess :)
That’s amazing project 😎 not waterproof but looks amazing.
hehe yea that was mostly for the look and feel. Waterproofing would have needed other connectors which take up so much space that these boxes would have been to small ;)
That is awesome! You did a really really good job.
I obeyed and bought some typewriters.
Welcome to the rabbit hole ;)
ok i' have many but this is badass
Ausgezeichnet bro! Subbed.
Looks awesome 😎💯
Thank you :D
Amazing! What a cool project. I'm not sure how many displays the raspberry pi supports, but it's exciting to think that something like this could potentially have 3 screens haha
The pi3 has 2 display outputs... Might be possible to do 3 but I don't really know.
That is gorgeous. If I was rich I'd be offering you stupid money right now to buy one!
hehe thx. I guess that would be just the right amount for me to sell it ;)
Ganz schön! Looks like there's some space left in the covers of the keyboards for some extra screens?
Yea, not enough for screens (tried that) but yea some space that could be used
so cool! saw it on the cyberdeck cafe stream a couple of weeks back, awesome to see a bit more of it. The paint job on the outer case is fantastic, how did you get the peeling off paint effect? and the brushed aluminium look of the bare metal parts look great, is that just a little of the layers of the print showing?

Hehe thx. Painting will be the next video I think. Will go into detail how I did it 😉
@@MakenModify awesome, subbed and looking forward to it!
