Okay, this is really sweet. Do you have a parts list? Specs? Total cost? How long did it take to make?
edit: after some googling I'm estimating the parts cost ~$150
So my new question is what do you use it for?
That's even a 'large' one (it's still p small), with kb about the size of a laptop so you can really type on it. I have one like this I use as my primary HT controller which is the size of a remote control and fits in my pocket if I needed. It's plenty good enough for everything but typing long winded bullshit.
> sliding keyboards that hid behind the screen
Motorola tried this. It.... didn't go well. I had high hopes, because I'm like you. A keyboard just feels right.
> desktop in your pocket
This is why I carry a Raspberry Pi Zero W with me when I travel. All I really need is a keyboard/mouse combo like this and any HDMI-compatible display.
DM me the email address on your Ting account, and I'll add your credit.
Another bit of advice is to use "Hide desktop icons". Mostly because all of those icons get to be distracting.
Bring your own remote. Even if the venue assures you that they will provide one, you should bring your own. I have been using a "Rii 2.4G Mini Wireless Keyboard with Touchpad,Laser Pointer with Remote Control" for presentations, and when teaching. It has a USB transmitter that is concealed in the keyboard, so you don't lose it easily. It's not Bluetooth, so it will work on PCs without Bluetooth. It's a fully functional keyboard with a (kinda lousy) touchpad mouse, and it has a red laser pointer. Its wireless control range is pretty good (It works while walking in the back of the classroom). The keys are a bit hokey, but still sufficient for typing in a URL. Make sure you buy the one with the laser.
It fits in one hand, and the battery lasts forever (I only had to charge it twice during a semester teaching gig). It does go into standby too quickly, so it's good to press a button once in a while, so it stays awake (it consumes the button press). I also bring it to tech support assignments, because I can plug it into the client's PC and move their mouse, etc, while they are sitting at their desk.
If your presentation has videos, and you think you'll be streaming them from the 'net, consider downloading the videos, to play them locally. Again, your venue might swear that they'll supply a network connection, but sometimes it is really bad. I also bring a USB drive with Portable SM Player on it, so I have my own video player, and don't have to wait for "searching for codec" in the middle of a presentation. Portableapps.com also has 'portable' versions of Firefox and Chrome that will run from a USB drive, and don't leave files behind. You can have your own browser with all of the correct settings and shortcuts, dedicated to your presentation needs only. Keep it updated separately. (note: running from a USB can make a browser a bit laggy)
Bring an extension cord. The Marriott will have one outlet in the room, and it will be too far away.
