Love it! (--From an absolute novice)

I ordered this to learn the basics of Linux, set up a pentesting/network auditing/debugging handheld, and just have a general, cool-looking conversation piece. Understand that I am LEARNING Linux, and how to test networks, so I am by far not qualified to discuss whether or not this is better suited to those roles than another cyberdeck. But, I had the pi 5 sitting around, I like building things, and the DIY kit looked to be right up my alley. Mike and Kal knocked it out of the park with my questions, providing help every step of the way when I needed it! Customer service was absolute tops.

I am also using this to run WSJTX/JS8 on my QMX until my uConsole arrives to be my dedicated radio platform, and it does as well as any other computer, with the smaller footprint and more power than the Zero 2W digipi.

Keyboard does not work

Keyboard does not work. I requested help, did not get any.
$400 + computer did not even have a power cord.
I purchased an assembled unit so that I did not have to troubleshoot and fix it. Very dissapointed.

needs a trackball

purchased one to learn linux, tyring to get into cybersecurity but i wouldnt say im really there yet. i personally did not need a desktop enviorment but it is nifty the one thing id really is a trackpad or pball and not a gyroscope.

Great product, would buy again!!!

Great product, however I received a defective keyboard. Whole left side keyboard doesn’t work and the function toggle gets stuck. Hoping Carbon Computers will take care of me on this

**** EDIT: Carbon Computers reached out and suggested loosening the back bottom corner screws. This was the solution, and I did not receive a defective keyboard. If you receive your Pi Flux and the keyboard is not functioning properly, loosening the screws fixed it immediately. The unit works GREAT!! If I could give 6 stars I would!!!
