What's the external GPU or what?
I was gonna say "that's obviously a printer," buy actually that thingie north of the mouse pad is kinda intriguing.
The mouse looks really uncomfortable tho. My thumb extends from the side of my hand, not the middle of my palm. I actually tried one that shape years ago but I had to return it due to hand pain.
The thing north of the mousepad is the computer. A Raspberry Pi 5, to be exact.
Oh yes of course!
No enclosure ?!! /j
I just put one on after posting this. I had it off because I was taking the SD card in and out a lot while trying to find the right OS.
I don't have an external GPU, although it would probably be a good idea for games.
How's it holding up to gaming?
17 fps in Minecraft (though that's on 1.21.1, and I can probably tweak my mod setup to improve that). Usually a lot higher in older versions.
The other games I play tend to be either retro (e.g. Wolfenstein 3D) or pixel-based (e.g. Terraria), so they run fine. I use Steam under Box64 for that. I haven't tried games like TF2 or GMod yet, but I'm told they should be decently playable.
Yeah Minecraft is java hell 😁 cool for the rest!
