Building my own #LilyGo #TDeck devices looks like it's going to cost me about $100/each. That's after tax, shipping, printing cases, batteries, and an upgraded antenna.
Importantly it will NOT have a GPS (I actively do not want one) and it WILL have an upgraded antenna and a 5000 mAh battery (2.5x the size of what comes in the TDeck Plus, which costs $86.67 and only comes in black or white).
If I bought them in bulk, I could probably match that price and have what I would consider to be a superior device. 😎
And if I change my mind and decide I want a GPS, they're available for $16. Not breaking the bank there.
