Well, now I understand why people build their own.

;)

Thank you for the deterrent and inspiration to roll-my-own.

Adafruit and Sparkfun get ready.

Apparently Adafruit will be selling a device inspired by the PocketCHIP: https://www.hackster.io/news/diodes-delight-s-next-raspberry...
I love my PocketCHIP - but I wouldn't go with that form factor again - or at the very least, not with the type of physical keyboard they included. It was very unwieldy and generally not fun to use, I always connected an external keyboard.

The game controls were also garbage with that type of input sensor. It would have benefited greatly from a better keyboard, or a gamepad and doing away with the keyboard entirely.

Glad to see it coming back though!
