on turned my Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro tablet into a laptop replacement. I've been using this for development when out and about due to its smaller size and way better battery life and I've been very happy with it. The only real downside is performance, but with and a decent connection I can use to remotely use one of my Arch desktops for the more demanding things like compiling.

@itsfoss It was an instant purchase for me, excited to get working on it. It also seems to be a standard VIAL RGB firmware which means I have a test device to potentially support way more keyboards than just the Pi 500+. And it will double as an ARM build server.

@gamingonlinux That looks great, definitely need to get one and add it to ! Well, I hope it has a software control option and not just a dedicated button. Buttons are nice, but software allows custom and synchronized effects.
