I gave him a hard time here, but he’s back in great form. He made a cyberdeck out of his mainboard!!!

Retro Concept, Modern Hardware.") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeYfKu9KlTg) I was asking about a mini laptop, but this video totally gave me the idea to just make my own using the excellent engineering of the Framework team. Great work CJ!! ---

Very cool! Reminds me of the Raspberry pi computer in a keyboard that came out a while back, only cooler and much more capable. ---

This is rad. I’ve been working on a RPi cyberdeck for a little while, but this gives me some serious ideas… ---

> [@BigT](#): > > Raspberry pi computer in a keyboard The [Pi-400](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-400/)! It’s super cool, but not nearly as cool as this! While being much more compact, the iteration that @CJ_Elevated made is just a prototype and will very likely be improved upon in the future versions. Following along on his youtube community page and following journey making this has been super enjoyable. ---

> [@JacobFavreault](#): > > The [Pi-400](https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-400/)! I looked it up to remind myself of the details after I mentioned it. Like you said, super cool. But a Framework mainboard essentially embedded in a mechanical keyboard is a whole different level. ---

I’m curious, @CJ_Elevated, how did you connect the power button switch to the motherboard? ---

@mrwm It’s actually just a pin that lines up with the momentary power switch on the mainbord and physically depresses it. ---

That’s cool, but afaik, the power button is hooked up through the cover [ribbon cable](https://i.imgur.com/D3iGdIB.png) (image). I’m just unsure which pins connect to the power button. Unless there’s another way to turn the motherboard on and off? ---

> [@mrwm](#): > > Unless there’s another way to turn the motherboard on and off? Yes there is a very small button on the top right of the board labeled SW1. ---

CJ showed us that sw1 switch in a previous video. ---
