Little Luggable

by Jason Morley · Hard · manifest draft — being verified

A Pelican 1150 cyberdeck with a Raspberry Pi, the original 7-inch Touch Display, battery-backed power and a custom 64-key wireless mechanical keyboard.

Jason Morley designed Little Luggable around two fitted modules: a compute panel in the case and a custom keyboard in the lid. The repository publishes PCB, firmware and fabrication files, but its overview now mentions Raspberry Pi 5 while the detailed compute assembly still lists Pi 4, so this manifest remains a draft.

Notes

Official repository checked on 2026-10-14. Kept as draft because the overview says Raspberry Pi 5 while the detailed compute assembly lists Pi 4, and several keyboard fastener dimensions, header pitch, connector details and the nice!nano revision remain unspecified.
