Review on πŸ–₯️ WIMAXIT Portable 10.1" Raspberry Touchscreen Monitor - M1012, IPS, 1024X600 Resolution, Built-In Speakers by Aaron Olsen

Well made screen, just wish it was a little bigger

I saw a YouTube video using this 10.1 inch screen with a Pi4B and it looked fun so I had to buy it. It comes with all the cables you might need and hooking up the Pi4B is pretty easy. The problem is that Raspbian Buster doesn't support plug and play for touch screens. You must add the required lines to the config.txt file and restart your computer to get the correct permission. And although you automatically have the function of the left mouse button, you don't have the right mouse button without installing an additional program. I installed a program called evdev-right-click-emulation. You can find instructions online. The next problem was the lack of an onscreen keyboard if you wanted to type emails. Again, you need to install another program. I installed "Matchbox Keyboard" and also here are instructions online. I ordered a digital pen (recommended by WIMAXIT) through this web link because my fingers are too big for such a small screen: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08RXQ6H2H This screen is fun to play with, well made and about the size of my iPad, but Raspbian Buster on a touchscreen is night versus day compared to iPadOS. :-)
