I wanted a distraction free digital typewriter with nice clacky mechanical keys and a thin wide screen. I built this funky thing with a raspberry pi running the software focuswriter and libreoffice.

It's made out of plywood and I rapidly realythat carpentry is hard, so I covered the lopsidedness and stray nails with decoupage.

It can save/load easily, and I can transfer files easily with a USB drive.

It's fun to write with and works as intended.

Enjoy this project?

Hi!! Love this build. Any chance you could share the components you used? Display and keyboard specifically but also battery? And did this build require any soldering? I want to build something similar but don’t love the idea of soldering anything lol.

Thanks!
