Why build this
Primarily out of frustration. The dominant players in XR keep promoting their hardware as “computers”, when really they’re an iPad for your face. The most you can do is browse the web, play games, and consume content. They’re overweight and over constrained.
Okay but like, you could have just kept the screen, joysticks, touchpads and buttons and it's only slightly larger LOL

True, but he's mainly wanting a keyboard setup for it. This is only slightly thicker than the keyboard by itself, and reduces the pieces he has to bring with him to keyboard + glasses.
There's also the added memory of a guy sitting in a coffee shot wearing sunglasses, typing away on a keyboard without a computer in sight. Should be an excellent start to roleplaying a blind schizophrenic at starbucks.

Can still pull off the "no computer" look with just a steam deck in a backpack. It's kind of cool(?), but definitely a lot of effort going into "un-gaming" a steam deck. A framework mainboard may be a better option for this tbh.

Instead of a keyboard it should be the loudest most old fashioned typewriter possible, but still connected to AR glasses
