HackberryPi_CM5: A Raspberry Pi CM5 Handheld with a Blackberry Keyboard Twist
2025-09-11
Zitao, a Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design Master's student at the Technical University of Dresden, has created the HackberryPi_CM5, a portable computer. This unique device cleverly combines a Raspberry Pi CM5 compute module with a repurposed Blackberry keyboard, resulting in a retro-futuristic handheld. Housed in an aluminum case, it boasts dual speakers, a 2242 NVMe slot, a 5000mAh battery, and MagSafe-compatible magnetic charging. The open-source project provides 3D printable models and detailed tutorials, aiming to deepen users' understanding of Linux and hardware architecture.
