There’s Whole Computer Inside This Mouse

I would think putting the computer in the keyboard would make more sense. Lots more room, and you don’t move it around so much.
But I guess that was already done with the Commodore 64 🤷♂️

I think there’s a pi in a keyboard as well.

Nice. I should have assumed it had been done more recently.
Yeah, it’s an official release from rasberry pi: Pi400, Pi500 and Pi500+ are all keyboards with pi inside as an all-in-one. Bit like an Amiga 500 or Amiga 1200. Comes with a nice manual too for to help people learn a little programming.
Yeah, although the big benefit of a mouse is it’s super portable, and it needs one output to the screen and that’s it. I suppose the current limitation is that the screen needs USB-C output for power?
But it’s a great idea tbh! I’d prefer a linux device rather than android but other than that, great.
Dell did that recently but I’d argue that’s also very dumb. Just get a laptop. Or a mini PC. There’s no logical reason to cram it into the keyboard (or especially the mouse).

On a more serious/genuine note, thank you for sharing this. I did not know a recent/modern PC in this form factor still existed. I hope there are more options to choose from, than HP.
I know Raspberry Pi also came in a similar form factor.
Yeah HP haha

It’s just meaningless marketing nonsense.

… which I won’t support with my wallet.
okay, well, this is basically every electronic device in 2026, so…you’re not going to buy any of them, right?
Replying to @artyom@piefed.social
Correct.

it’s not a commercial product, it’s just a youtuber that had a Samsung s21 flashed with postmarketos and rearranged the board inside the mouse for the lols

Lots of those exist. My ergodox supports like 32 layers of keys.
