The realm of DIY hardware not only fascinates but often intimidates. Many individuals shy away from dismantling beloved devices like the Legion Go S, but those bold enough to try can achieve remarkable projects. One such innovator, Michael, known online as michaelthatsit, has made waves across social media with his ambitious creation—a Steam Deck cleverly housed within a keyboard. Michael’s project, dubbed Bento, aims to eliminate the need for a display by integrating the Steam Deck’s components into a streamlined chassis that fits snugly beneath a keyboard.

“This whole project has been a game of constraint optimisation.”
“The killer app for XR is simply a ‘big virtual screen.’ No need for excessive 3D features.”
– Michael, engineer on the Vision Pro and creator of Bento.

The Bento project can now be accessed for those eager to replicate it at home, with detailed files available on GitHub. Michael’s initiative highlights an important shift towards innovative use of space and design in technology.
