Perfect is the Enemy of Good

A project log for Modular OTS Cyberdeck Creation Kit

A suite of printables designed around using (mostly) off-the-shell parts to make your own custom computing platform/ Cyber Deck/ Lapdock

I've done so much work on this, I think it's ready to share with others. Even though It's not perfect or really complete.

So without further ado, BEHOLD! The Apple Ecosystem Human Interface Cluster! 

Apple Ecosystem Human Interface Device Cluster

The AEHIC looks sharp on a desktop, and is fully capable of connecting via USB-C to your workstation.

Although both the Trackpad and the keyboard support Bluetooth, I leverage wired connections to ensure reliability and connectivity as it is moved between multiple computing devices.

Right  Side allows access to Display Port and gigabit Ethernet. Additional devices could be connected via mounting points.

Left Side has mounting points for additional modules, and (at the moment) has a USB-C cable hanging off. It was recently connected to a battery module that I have abandoned.

Rear of the AEHIC shows additional ports and the handle, which is both a handle and a tablet/mobile stand.

My cyberdock works as a lapdock, compatible with DEX Devices (though the hub must be powered)

Like most things in my life, I built it to play video games. The cyberdock mounts cleanly to the Steam Deck, shown here wearing a white skin, and a JSAUX Modcase.

The current mounting solution for the Steam Deck is a fixed, albeit removable bracket.

Just imagine how slick this will look once I get a folding. clamshell mechanism integrated!
