The team at soulscircuit develops exciting products that bring forth a nostalgic feeling with the new Raspberry Pi and the Pilet 5 handheld console. The Raspberry Pi is a fully functioning compact computer that can run desktop operating systems including a trimmed version of Windows.
It is portable and has a retro design language whereas the Pilet 5 handheld device adds essential missing parts to a simple computer. It looks like a chunky box that features a small screen on the top which is about 5 inches. At the bottom half of the device is a traditional QWERTY keyboard. The Pilet 5 also has a four-direction D-pad along with a small trackball nestled on the right side and the opposite side has a scroll wheel and joystick.
