Funded within 5 minutes, soulscircuit are clearly onto a winner here with their upcoming Pilet open source modular mini computers powered by the Raspberry Pi 5.
So for $200 USD they’re selling an 80’s retro version of a GameboyPi case ($50 on amazon, includes battery) with a slightly larger screen and fewer buttons. For $10 more, they’ll add in a keyboard that they haven’t developed yet.
Seems like an overpriced stepping stone between a flipper and a steam deck.
Yeah, wish they were a bit more upfront about that. In their defense it is in the FAQ and somewhere at the bottom of the “about this project” page. Battery is also an add on unless you want to source your own.

And I get it’s still the top dog SBC but there’s plenty out there that don’t contribute to the capitalist machine.
It’s powered by someone’s Raspberry Pi 5.
Great, another cloud computing scam…
