Thank you for your fast reply and creation! My son was born on the 3rd so it took me a bit to get things in order and test.
The panel is slim and almost fits perfectly! Maybe these images will explain what my issue is currently

Heartfelt congratulations on the birth of your son!!!
Now, looking at the photo, I’ll try to guess what the problem you’re facing is.
Is it possible that the panel will fit, but the position of the RasPICO is preventing it?
Or is it that the height of the RasPico/RasPiZerp2W interferes with the panel?
… Or is it both?
If so, the solution would be to either recreate the board for the RasPICO/Zerp2W or order a custom board.

Thank you so much!!
The panel will fit but the position of the Pico is preventing it, yes. It’s the tab/flap that sticks out towards the center.

I’ve made it possible to order custom boards through PCBWAY.
If you order this, get the parts, assemble it, and use it, I think the problem will be solved.
If possible, please try it.
(The minimum order quantity is five, so you may end up with extra boards.)

Like to report that LXDE is working good with mouse…
So after that decided to test LXQt but some “holy smoke” from SD memory slot, made my test unfinished. Removed the power, the SD slot was hot on touch.
The Sandisk 32 GB was inside, not working any more, tested on PC.
About Zero 2W not sure yet….
The PicoCalc check, no damage, working with Pico 2W
Fortunately my local supply have Zero and SD on stock,
25 eur for Zero, 10,50 eur, 5 eur delivery… Life is good with 40 euro less on acc 
was the ‘holy smoke’ from the picocalc sd card slot or from the raspberry pi zero 2w’s micro sd card slot? and is this also the case for normal rpi trixie?
From the RPI Zero 2W micro SD slot.
The PicoCalc slot was empty.
It must be the pure hardware error, not related to OS like Debian Trixie 32 - which was installed.
if software (on your average joe’s modern hardware anyway) could spontaneously cause magic smoke at will, computer viruses would be much more fun today
Hi everyone! I ordered the PCB, soldered everything together, followed the wasdwasd0105 GitHub tutorial, but nothing is shown on the screen of my PiCoCalc. It powers on with the battery; I can access it through the SSH connection, but nothing appears on the screen.
The only difference I notice between the tutorial shown in this video and my setup is that when I try to install everything together, I get this command line that appears :
Warnings are ok for compiling the keyboard drivers. (I think I have cut the Messages accidently in the video)
But maybe you try the Trixie install instead.

Hello.
If you follow wasdwasd0105’s GitHub tutorial, you should be able to install it correctly, but I recommend making sure you’re installing the “Legacy 32-bit Bullseye Raspberry Pi OS.”
That tutorial was written six months ago.
At the time, the 32-bit Bullseye was available as an option in the Raspberry Pi imager, but I think this option became unavailable around the time of the Raspberry Pi OS update a few months ago.(I haven’t tested whether this is possible with the latest Raspberry Pi Imager.)
You might want to download the 32-bit Bullseye from a location where you can download older stable OSes and try it out.
That’s exactly what I think: the only issue now is that when I try to install the Bullseye image, I can’t add custom configuration (SSH and Wi‑Fi) to my image on the SD card.
Follow this step-by-step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvNtWaM17Pg
It uses Trixie 32-bit lite and follows this through Step 6. 64-bit is compatible but you have to edit a file.
Jesus this is so sweet! has anyone tried to run Mathematica on this? that would be the best calculator ever for science stuff on the go…
Hi,
Thanks for sharing. Please do you know the mods for trixie 64 bits or where to find it?

Hi,
When you copy "sudo cp picomipi.bin /lib/firmware/.” did you type the “.” at the end? You do not have to type it ! 
Don’t ask me how I know this!

Hi,
Does someone disable the swap because of the risk to kill the sd card?
