Penkesu Computer is an open-source hardware project providing complete designs, 3D-printable case files, and a bill of materials for building a retro-style handheld PC based on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, a 7.9-inch widescreen display, and a 48-key ortholinear mechanical keyboard. It is a DIY build guide rather than software, with STL/STEP files, PCB gerbers, and QMK firmware included.
Use cases
- build your own retro-style handheld computer
- 3D print a case for a Raspberry Pi Zero handheld
- build a portable mechanical keyboard computer
- find parts list for a DIY Raspberry Pi handheld PC
- make a homebrew handheld device with QMK keyboard firmware
When to choose
- you want to build a DIY handheld PC from published open-source hardware designs
- you enjoy 3D printing and electronics tinkering with off-the-shelf parts
- you want a retro-styled portable Raspberry Pi computer with a mechanical keyboard
When to avoid
- you want a ready-made product you can buy - no kits or units are sold
- you need a software library or application rather than hardware build plans
- you lack access to a 3D printer or soldering skills
