The Mecha Comet: A Modular Linux Handheld Redefining Ownership, Modding, and Open Computing
The Mecha Comet has launched its Kickstarter, presenting a radical vision for a fully modular, open-hardware handheld computer running Linux. Designed for deep customization, the device targets tinkerers, IT admins, and developers seeking an alternative to proprietary mobile ecosystems. Its defining feature is a magnetic expansion system and 40 IO pins, enabling users to swap components like keyboards for gamepads or integrate specialized hardware for lab work and decentralized communication.
