All this effort wasted on using a really bad keyboard as a base.

Instead of carrying a small mouse, the case itself could be a trackpad :D https://ploopy.co/trackpad/
I have one! It’s huge haha. I’m still trying to figure out how to fit a full trackball in there…
haha.. now I wonder... a steam deck with dual trackballs instead of dual trackpads...

My bad. It’s as good as any 1080p monitor and it supports 120hz refresh rate. The FOV will be the thing that gets to you.
It will be a long time until I try because I have both astigmatism and dioptries so I’d need something pretty custom.
There are prescription inserts for it, including astigmatism and dioptries

#87> Primarily out of frustration. The dominant players in XR keep promoting their hardware as “computers”, when really they’re an iPad for your face. The most you can do is browse the web, play games, and consume content. They’re overweight and over constrained. I'm a fan of HMD programming in general so I love this project. But it should be noted that AOSP-based XR headsets can run pseudo Linux environments via termux…

I was excited about termux until about 3 years ago, when I saw that the app needed to be compiled against an ancient Android API version. Google seems indifferent to bricking this project... Today it's still breaking Fdroid updates:

#89This is super nice as it's a native unencumbered linux environment.
I recently blogged about trying to do web development on the Quest 3, and although it kind of works, it's way more hacky (and performance is still lacking). The nice thing however about the Quest, is still being able to leverage virtual window placement in the space around you vs. the fixed 2d monitor approach here.

#90This is a project that had been eating away at me for a bit, sitting in the back of my mind. It's a computer that fit's perfectly underneath an Apple Magic Keyboard, and has a compartment to store peripherals like a dongle or small mouse. It has no display, instead opting for XR display glasses. The internals are the main board, cooler, and battery from a Steam Deck OLED. I bought the parts separately rather than gut…
> I started using the XREAL glasses a few months ago. How's your eye sight? Any signs of fatigue? I've seen people saying that they're fine for gaming and movie watching but too fuzzy for work...
I've been using the Viture XR Pro glasses and they're fine for occasional PC use but I don't like them enough to use a daily driver for work.
It's great for gaming and movies as you say, and also for adopting a better posture when using a laptop in a cramped space like a train or airline seat. But even with the individual focus wheels for each eye, it doesn't feel sharp enough at 1080p to replace a 24" or 27" screen on a standard desk layout.
If I had the option of one 24" 1080p monitor on my desk or XR glasses to use for 8-10 hours of thoughtful work, I would choose the monitor.
Regarding eye strain or fatigue, I don't notice any. The fact that the projected display appears to be 3-4m away probably helps a lot with that.
