T-Deck is a pocket-sized gadget with a 2.8-inch, 320 x 240 pixel IPS LCD display, a mini keyboard, and an ESP32 dual-core processor. It is not a smartphone, though it looks like one- but you can use your programming knowledge to turn it into a standalone messaging device, or use with coding software for programming.

Keyboard: US QWERTY layout, may have additional symbols or characters on keys in other language in addition to QWERTY but that is smaller print on the bottom of the key and would not affect operation or layout.

Unrealized potential

Bought the T-Deck as my first mesh radio because I thought built-in display and keyboard would offer a fair amount of independence from the phone app. It does not. The UI , as others have said, is basically worthless; after 2 weeks, I don't use the keyboard or trackball at all... and only occasionally use swipe on the screen. As a meshtastic radio, it seems to work well and I've enjoyed it... but I don't have experience with any others. On the plus side, the screen and keyboard offer so much potential, I hope developers make real use of them and turn the T-Deck into a device that can be completely (or nearly) independent of the phone/mobile app.

The case is horrible. On off button is extremely stiff and hard to move and the case makes the scroll ball hard to get to. The edges need to be smoothed out on the case.

Quick Delivery

Unit arrive quickly , Getting unit to see my other nodes was slow. Tried to do a firmware update and trackball is hard to hold down due to cove hole off center of the buttonr. Trackball tends to move to next item if you try to press again I think it is the cover making it hard to get direct pressure on ball. I saw that you should be able to scroll up and down however I had no luck doing that perhaps it was an older version of the firmware. So far it has not heard more than my t-echo in same areas.

So issue might be firmware but not ready to open case so I can get good press on button.

Quality product, limited use cases.

I bought a couple of these and found that I don't use them as much as I thought I would. The built-in keyboard is great but the Meshtastic software hasn't quite caught up to this large touch display. These are a great complement for those who already in the hobby but I would not recommend this as a first Mesh device.

Very Pleased with Purchase, Shipping and The Store.

Good Device I'm using it as my main node until I get a better chance to learn the input method a little better. Its a solid build and seems to have a good range to it. and it has its own speaker/buzzer to alert for direct messages on my own private encrypted channel. I am happy with the purchase and very pleased with the great experience with your store and the help from your "live agent" assistant.
