The Mecha Comet is now live on Kickstarter
Mecha provides computing hardware backed with extensive software support that promises no limits to what you can build.

Open Modular Linux handheld designed for dreamers, tinkerers and builders.
Whether you're looking for a portable coding terminal, a retro gaming powerhouse, or a DIY robotics controller, the Comet adapts to you.
We want you to have the power of building your dream hardware projects, and we back them, with:
We believe that only open-source software can drive computing further and we would like to play our part.
At Mecha, we are set on a course to build an open source and inclusive computing platform that inspires you to innovate and explore.
While doing so, we want to remain cognitive of our impact on the environment and ensure sustainability is not overlooked at all times.

We are now this 🤏 close to the launch. A lot of you have been following us for a very LONG time and I know the wait has been hard. We have spent almost entire of the last year overhauling the Comet you know and love. Mainboard When we announced the updated Comet in March 2025 (link), we start

I am very happy to announce that the Mecha Comet will be released as open hardware under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. Building the Comet (and Mecha) started as a passion project but has become a life project now, standing on the shoulders of thousands of folks that have contributed to the open-source that drives the Comet today. Opening up is our way of giving back or paying forward as they say. We are excited on where this leads the Comet to! We will be releasing all design files across PCB, co

Though we closed functional testing back in September, we shifted focus to more production-ready related items in October. Here are most of the things that we have worked on to get the DVT ready! Power Delivery In and Out In the EVT we had planned to allow power-in from two USB-Cs, the one on the top and the one on the bottom and have them both support PD In/Out at even higher voltages. This was one big challenge that didn’t yield for the longest time, we understood some IC-level and design l
