This unique device seamlessly connects to a vast array of mechanical keyboards via a USB port, transforming them into functional writerDecks. With the ability to power on and start typing immediately, along with the added convenience of syncing with Google Drive, this writerDeck ensures that your drafts are always securely recorded.

I've been scouring the internet for WriterDeck builds that incorporate microcontrollers like the ESP32 or similar options. Ideally, I'm seeking a device that powers on instantly, creating a conducive writing environment, and has the added convenience of syncing with Google Drive.
I couldn't find such a solution online, likely because it caters to a niche demand in the market. WriterDeck itself represents a niche interest, and the idea of a DIY solution using a microcontroller seemed like an exceptionally rare occurrence rather than a widely recognized concept.
I aimed to acquire a dedicated device that allows me to type immediately, facilitating the collection of meeting notes or capturing fleeting ideas before they fade. While I've explored various iterations of a WriterDeck, none of them offer the crucial feature of instant powering on.
So, I decided to build one by myself.
Assembled writerDeck that includes
1) ESP32, Display, Power supply modules, and usb interfaces assembled.
2) 3D printed enclosure, and assembled with the parts above.
3) Guide to setup the SD card and setup Google Apps Script to enable cloud sync features.
!! Please, note that Battery, SD card and Keyboard are NOT included.
It's perfect for capturing sudden bursts of inspiration or quickly jotting down important tasks or ideas. It's a device that can be kept on your bedside table, ready to record your dreams at a moment's notice. All you need to do is find the power switch before immortalizing your weirdest dream ever in writing.
