Things I could hack into a cyberdeck

Including these because I'd customise the body into something else, or try to anyway.

There's quite a few offerings when it comes to wireless mechanical keyboards these days, they're very well featured and should suit a lot of people looking for 60% form-factor boards.

Common features include

• Wireless to dongle, or bluetooth connectivity
• A long-lasting rechargeable battery
• Charging via USB-C, and of course lets you use the board hardwired to the PC
• A choice of mechanical switches

Purchasing concerns and criteria

• Physical footprint
• Weight, because this is likely to be like half of the weight of the finished deck
• Mechanical switch choice
• Overall thickness
• Key layout and practicality for hacking
• Backlit keys
