Cyber Deck 1.0

A keyboard-first portable platform for typing, command-based workflows, media projects, and custom firmware.

Cyber Deck 1.0 is a portable, keyboard-first Complete Build. It combines a color touchscreen, a 48-key QWERTY keyboard, a microSD card slot, a microphone, a speaker, and battery power in one modular form.

It is designed as a foundation rather than a single-purpose appliance: choose firmware for the job, or turn your own idea into a compact terminal-style tool, creative controller, media project, or personal utility.

What you can do with it

Type text, commands, and shortcuts on the built-in QWERTY keyboard
Build terminal-style tools, dashboards, menus, and portable utilities
Add your own compatible microSD card for local data, media, and project files
Create audio-aware projects with the microphone and speaker
Design your own firmware around the screen, keyboard, controls, and sensors

What's in it

Core: ESP32 1.0 — the host: 2.0-inch color touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, motion, and light sensing
Expand: Media I/O 1.0 — a microSD card slot, a microphone, and a speaker
Control: Keyboard (Bottom) 1.0 — a 48-key QWERTY keyboard
Power: Standard Cell 1.0 — the rechargeable battery
A Deck Frame, one 7-pin power cable, and one 12-pin FPC cable that hold and connect the assembly

What it's for

Cyber Deck is for people who want direct, tactile control: writers, makers, developers, and anyone building a handheld around text input, shortcuts, menus, or command-driven workflows. The hardware is flexible enough to support many roles; the firmware determines what the finished experience becomes.

Build or port firmware

Use the AI Build Assistant to plan and build new firmware from a plain-language idea. If you already have an open-source firmware in mind, its porting workflow can plan an adaptation when the required hardware is present and the software license permits it.

The keyboard

The 48-key QWERTY keyboard gives firmware a physical surface for text, commands, shortcuts, and navigation. It connects to the Core over I²C, so firmware can define how every key and key combination behaves. The touchscreen remains available for direct interaction, while the Core's top buttons can carry global actions such as power, back, or a firmware-defined shortcut.

The keyboard does not impose one fixed application. A terminal-style tool can prioritize text entry, a dashboard can map keys to commands, and a creative controller can use them as labelled triggers. Check the firmware documentation for its actual key map.

Power it on

An Attaky has two power buttons — one on the battery and one on the host (Core). Switch the battery on first, then the Core. The battery button is on the Power module's edge beside its USB-C port and indicator LEDs. On the Core's top edge, the power button is the third of the four buttons from the left, between Boot and R1.

Turn the battery on. Long-press the Power module's edge button for about two seconds.

Turn the Core on. Long-press the Core power button for about two seconds.

Turn it off. Long-press the Core power button, then switch off the Power module if you are putting the build away.

The Power module — its power button sits on the edge beside the USB-C port and indicator LEDs.

The Core — its four top buttons are L1, Boot, Power, and R1; Power is third from the left.

These are close-ups of the modules; the button positions are the same in the assembled build.

For everyday charging, connect USB-C to the Core. You can charge while the device is on or off and continue using it while it charges. The Power module also has a USB-C port, but use that port only while the host is switched off.

Set it up

Choose firmware for the task, or use the AI Build Assistant to plan your own.

Build or download firmware that supports the Cyber Deck module combination.

Flash it over USB-C, then verify the keyboard, screen, storage, and media features the firmware uses.

Good to know

Firmware is separate. Cyber Deck is the hardware foundation. Its exact behavior depends on the firmware you choose or create.

Keyboard first. The 48-key QWERTY layout is built for text, commands, shortcuts, and hands-on navigation rather than touch-only interaction.

Media I/O is ready for expansion. The module provides a microSD card slot, a microphone, and a speaker for projects that need local files or audio. A microSD card is not included.

Keep it dry and cool. It isn't waterproof — keep it away from rain, splashes, and damp. Operating temperature is 0–40 °C (32–104 °F); keep it out of direct sunlight and prolonged heat, and do not leave it in a parked car.

Dimensions and weight. Cyber Deck is 68 mm wide, 97 mm tall, and 20.5 mm thick. It weighs 141.2 g.
