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!
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!
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. ♥️
i also found something in the dumpster, my mind!! When you mentioned ".. the setting of your deck." i had to listen twice to make sure that we were talking about a computer...!
@@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 one ist echt riiichtig geil geworden 👍👍👍 sehr cool gemacht und als einer der ne mechanische tastatur zu schätzen weiss, dann erst noch ortholinear 😍 einfach top
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.
This is amazing. I love the form factor of those cases. I feel like all of the vintage cases I’ve seen off eBay here in the US are tall and open at the top like ammo boxes. I’ll have to keep an eye out for cases that are that sort of clamshell/briefcase shape
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. :) )
This is incredible , I am absolutely amazed. I am in the U.S. and I wish we had a stronger cyber community. This is an impressive build and the aesthetics are just so well! Thank you very much for this , Now , I just have to make one myself. Best UA-cam video of the day.
Thank you ☺️ yea Germany also doesn't hav a big cyber deck/punk community but i can always recommended the cyberdeck cafe and it's discord. It's an awesome international community focused on cyberpunk estetics and building decks 😉
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...
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. :)
@@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.
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
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!
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!
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
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
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 ;)
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 ;)
Sieht super aus. Nur bei den Schriften warst du etwas einfallslos. Die Aluplatten hatten bestimmt eher eine DIN und keine Helvetica oder Arial. Und Stencil für die Kiste? Die BW hatte da auch was anderes als die Army. ;)
Hehe als ehemaliger Mediengestalter muss ich dir da leider recht geben... Zumindestbei der Kiste... Laut CI nutzt die Bundeswehr nu mal Frutiger (aktuell) aber wollte das Projekt endlich fertig haben 😬

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.

Amazing work!
Keycaps look amazing.
Very concise units, command an audience.
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 😊

Was not expecting to like this one at the start but after seeing it @6:14, WOW its amazing! Love this build
One of these with some lead shielding applied is a computer for the apocalypse. Bravo sir
i also found something in the dumpster, my mind!! When you mentioned ".. the setting of your deck." i had to listen twice to make sure that we were talking about a computer...!
An incredibly beautiful Cyberdeck build. Thank you for sharing!!! That keyboard is gorgeous.
The sound of the keys were amazing :)
this is what a cyberdeck is meant to be.. A kitbashed/Hacked together Portable PC.. love this one..
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.
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

WOAH!! You sir just gained a subscriber! this is easily the coolest cyberdeck I've ever seen, ausgezeichnete Arbeit!
Danke schön :)
Those old typewriter keycaps were perfect. Great build, great ch.
Alter, irgendwie hat mir UA-cam diese Cyberdecks empfohlen, aber deins ist bis jetzt am apokalyptischstem. Genial.
Na das ist mal ein Cyberdeck der ganz besonderen Art!
Amazing!!!
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.
Best military grade cyberdeck of all congratulations
Die Tasten klingen klasse!
Danke :D
This is amazing. I love the form factor of those cases. I feel like all of the vintage cases I’ve seen off eBay here in the US are tall and open at the top like ammo boxes. I’ll have to keep an eye out for cases that are that sort of clamshell/briefcase shape
yea they are also unusual for Germany. Never seen something like those before I found the first one.
yoooo, this is by far the coolest cyberdeck or should i say vintagedeck that i've ever seen
by FAR the coolest shit I've seen this week next to cryptography
cool vid man, love your aproach of the cyberdeck. keep up the good work!
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.
One of the most impressive cyberdecks I've had the pleasure of seeing.
Amazing job! Great aesthetic and brilliant execution
Wow, I absolutely adore this! Excellent work! You might be giving this old eternal Informatik-Bachelor some of his love for the subject back! :D
Seems like something that would have been used in the unification war in the cyberpunk 2077 universe, hella dope choom!
thats the coolest cyberdeck ever made :O
i LOVE the military look :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.
Love it, super unique and looks like some sort of military cyberdeck
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.
This is incredible , I am absolutely amazed. I am in the U.S. and I wish we had a stronger cyber community. This is an impressive build and the aesthetics are just so well!
Thank you very much for this , Now , I just have to make one myself. Best UA-cam video of the day.

Yea thought of it but the keyboard was to high (no space for the screen). But should be doable with a lower keyboard👍
Wow I picked up Adler caps this week and today I see this. Love it.
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 ;)
I would prefer a much smaller cyberdeck but that keyboard is giving me Big Thoughts on my next build.
First 5 seconds impression : i'm jealous of this moustache
Super gemacht! Very well done!
The keys sound great too! What a cool build
That looks great and it is better than military equipment, it works. Nice Job,
This is absolutely insane.
This looks amazing omg i want one
There is only one but it's not sold yet 😜
This is EPIC! Looks really goood!
quality design and construction. thank you!
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.
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.
What an epic cyber deck... looks more like something you might actually see in the apocalypse! (and be capable of surviving!)
Hehe thank you :)
wirklich beeindruckend und all das ohne Heißkleber!
That is awesome! You did a really really good job.
Epic deck! I think the keycaps make the whole thing 👍👍👍
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 :)
Brilliant build. Thanks for sharing!
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.
oh man those keys sound great! great job!
Thank you, combination of switches and case i guess :)
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 ;)
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
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
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.
Nice look and sound is great
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!
Wonderful, as well as beautiful!
That Cyberdeck is the sexiest thing I've seen this month!
Thank you 😊
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!
„Mobile teilmechanische Schalteinheit“, da hast du echt den Stiel getroffen 😂👌 2:40
I like everything about this.
beauty in three boxes
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 ;)
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.
nice build, i feel like the inside of the keyboard lids could use some stickers. or SD card holders.
Good idea 👍
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.
this is super slick. i like it
Gud stuff. Nice Optics. Keep going Dude
Damn. I sort of want to make one like it but I can’t imagine a use for it.
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 😊
Bro aún no lo veo completo pero ya la di like porque nunca decepcionas shkskf
hehe muchas gracias

@@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 ;)
This bad boy... Uuuh, I agree with those who say that this is the better looking of them all.
Awesome! Thank you! 🙂
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
That looks extremely impractical but absolutely stunning 😂
Hehe yea it is. The keyboard is ok but yea, practicalitie was not the highest priority 😁
Nice Work man!
Super gemacht... bin beeindruckt.
Cool build I think I'm going to build a hackers themed one. Facilitate movie of all time.
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 ;)
Cyberdecks are awesome
Ausgezeichnet bro! Subbed.
Very nice work!
this is the coolest cyberdeck I ve seen so far. THX for inspiration.
Great work.
That is a nice build :)
Thank you 😉
