ShaRPiKeebo is a new tiny Linux computer complete with a daylight readable screen, keyboard and long-range transceiver. Measuring just 6 x 11 x 1.5 cm and powered by a Raspberry Pi (RPi) Zero W or 2W.
“Who hasn’t dreamed of a computer the size of a calculator they could use to play games or carry out system-administration tasks when they’re on the go? Who doesn’t want a way to keep busy or stay entertained on a bus or a train or a subway? (A way that does not require balancing expensive hardware on their lap while repeatedly elbowing their neighbors…) Who wouldn’t enjoy leaving their bag or backpack at home more often? Scenarios like this speak to us, here at Morpheans, so we decided to make them a reality—with the ShaRPiKeebo nanocomputer.”

“The SHARPIKEEBO is probably one of the smallest linux computers with a keyboard a 400×240 pixels Sharp Memory Display + Raspberry PI Zero 2W + a long range radio transceiver in a 6 cm x 11 cm x 1.5 cm volume. This is one of the coolest nano computer device released since the PocketChip a few years ago. This opensource decice has been created for gamers and linux system admins to perform a lot of operations with a super small handheld piece or artware. A fast display, 2 joy pads, 1 true PC keyboard, Raspberry compatibility, battery module and charger, wifi etc etc …”
“If you thought PocketChip was cool, wait until you get your thumbs on ShaRPiKeebo! With a low-latency display, two D-pads, on-board power-management, and support for Wi-Fi connectivity, this open-hardware, battery-powered nanocomputer is perfect for gamers, system administrators, software developers, pentesters, students, makers, and any Linux geek who manages to be none of the above.”
