This is a screenless computer, meant to be used with XR/AR glasses or an external display. The Steam Deck motherboard goes in a 3d printed housing underneath the keyboard, giving you a keyboard that only needs to be connected to a display for a portable computer set up.

Here's the hacker news discussion on it, includes comments from the creator of the project

True, but he's mainly wanting a keyboard setup for it. This is only slightly thicker than the keyboard by itself, and reduces the pieces he has to bring with him to keyboard + glasses.

There's also the added memory of a guy sitting in a coffee shot wearing sunglasses, typing away on a keyboard without a computer in sight. Should be an excellent start to roleplaying a blind schizophrenic at starbucks.

Instead of a keyboard it should be the loudest most old fashioned typewriter possible, but still connected to AR glasses
