Cyberdecks are fictional devices, common for the cyberpunk genre. It seems to me that the source of inspiration for the original concept were 8-bit home computers, and keytars.
Many of the cassette-based home computers shared their signature form-factor, meant to be plugged into a separate display. In science fiction however, computers were pictured as consoles—decks—giving the user access to cyberspace. Deckers, wearing their gear around city streets, became a common concept, especially in games.

It clicked when D10D3 had released his Ono Sendai Cyberspace 7. I believe I first saw it around 2 years ago, and I wasn't the only one who got hooked. Since then cyberdecks have become a scene, with people from all over the world sharing their custom builds and exchanging ideas.

I had a lot of ideas, too, but in the spring of 2021 I realized that instead of creating concepts, I would rather create something that actually works.
By that time I only had a spare Raspberry Pi 4, and a keyboard. In three month's time I've finished the project and now I am sitting here writing this text.
