The Pi has come of age.

With this form factor, it is truly the grandchild of the BBC Model B and I love it.

If they made one with big black mechanical switches and deep cherry red status LEDs, I would happily pay whatever they asked.

Honestly, taking the Pi itself (which has a very keyboard-friendly PCB layout) and using it in a custom mechanical keyboard build could be a fun little project!

In fact, this would make the perfect guts for something to feature on /r/cyberdeck!

Which, to no ones surprise, is why I see this thing has hit the top of that subreddit...
