The most time intensive device built for this project is the roll-pin mouse replacement. Electronics were all ripped from a cheap optical mouse but the sensor's used in these devices are very tuned to their purpose. You can not expect to exchange the LED easily or stray more than ~1mm from the surface area you want to detect movement on.
Also the whole optical system is very reliant on the right surface structure and it turned out that roughened PETG was working well. I used an 8mm shaft and combined it first with linear LM8UU bearings, but the haptics did not feel so well. I later swapped the bearings for IGUS Igildur sliding bearings and it heighened the comfort alot.

The right side of the deck got a bit cramped because I wanted to include a large, hefty and fun-to-push switch. The LEDs are used to show the charge state of the battery module while the voltage output might come in handy in a future upgrade to supply different voltages from the Cyberdeck directly.
The only part I would change in hindsight is the usb-C loading connector since it took a lot of space and is hard to install. A lower profile option would be better.

Space was very tight under the keyboard since it is actually angled forward...so the room gets very tight towards the front. For that reason I needed to configure all USB cables myself (and I wanted to keep the usb to plug and unplug easily...or for when I changed my mind during the build). The USB Hub is the most important part here since it links up the roll-pin mouse, the keyboard itself (it loops back in), the signal analyzer and a TEENSY-LC configured as a HID to take input from the PSP Knob at the left side.
Later on I might add a few more functions to the TEENSY with other Buttons or sensors and probably also a way to turn the signal analyzer off when it is not in use to conserve some power.
