    They finally made the second generation MacBook wheel. As promised it is lighter due to the lack of screen or wheel.

    There’s a whole computer inside every mouse. Presumably this one is millions of times more powerful and faster.

    I would think putting the computer in the keyboard would make more sense. Lots more room, and you don’t move it around so much.

    But I guess that was already done with the Commodore 64 🤷‍♂️

          Yeah, it’s an official release from rasberry pi: Pi400, Pi500 and Pi500+ are all keyboards with pi inside as an all-in-one. Bit like an Amiga 500 or Amiga 1200. Comes with a nice manual too for to help people learn a little programming.

      it’s not a commercial product, it’s just a youtuber that had a Samsung s21 flashed with postmarketos and rearranged the board inside the mouse for the lols

      Dell did that recently but I’d argue that’s also very dumb. Just get a laptop. Or a mini PC. There’s no logical reason to cram it into the keyboard (or especially the mouse). I’m sure it’s a terrible keyboard as well.

      Yeah, although the big benefit of a mouse is it’s super portable, and it needs one output to the screen and that’s it. I suppose the current limitation is that the screen needs USB-C output for power?

      But it’s a great idea tbh! I’d prefer a linux device rather than android but other than that, great.

    Still needs a keyboard, unless you like typing on an on-screen keyboard.

    Since one of my hobbies is writing, I can’t imagine using a computer without a full-size, quality keyboard.

      There are specialized keyboards that you may or may not consider “full-size” but, if you train on them, you can push over 100-120 WPM.

      Smaller with contorts, so your grimy little fingers can reach everything at once.

      I’m not sure this joke lands well given that Intel has had more thermal problems in their desktop processors than AMD for years now.

      AMD CPUs are known for high thermals?

      My 3900X is still idling at sub 40°C on average, I’d say, still after 6 years. Never changed thermal paste.

      My new 9950X3D idles at sub 45–50°C or so, bought in 2025.

      Is that bad? 🙃

    Just need a small generator on the mouse-wheel to power up ! I guess a very strong/fast finger, and around 2-300 rpm’s can generate enough power.

    Kidding oc, but fun project.
