Not just any keyboard and display, looks like they are gutting old Blackberry Bolds and slapped a pi zero in it.

So the beepy is just a display and keyboard for the raspberry pi zero? How do you like using it?

the keyboard is definitely “fine” to type on, its just a blackberry keyboard. The driver for the keyboard is also in development so theres not much support for using the trackbutton as a mouse. The display is difficult for practical use, its a monochromatic screen, there is no backlit, and the pixel density isn’t amazing so you can’t see full lines of code, lots of wrapping. It’s better than having NO display in the field though. I actually really like it, its quirky, but with some struggle it is very usable.
