Seedsigner is one of the most famous Do It Yourself projects in the hardware wallets community. It makes very clear the difference between a signer and other hardware wallets that also store the private keys (in addition to signing transactions)
Pros: - Increase your privacy assembling your own device, because nobody is going to know what you assembled. - Reduce supply chain risks - Assembling a signer is an educational experience - A screen useful to validate the transactions - Good user experience. - Open source and reproducible builds - 100% airgapped firmware upgrade and transaction signing - Bitcoin only device - Support lots of advanced features like testnet, user added entropy, passphrase, seedQR, taproot, fee and coin control, custom node under tor support, multisig, miniscript (soon) - Good integration with the most important bitcoin wallets - Cheap price
Cons: - Missing battery - Missing secure element - Given that it is stateless, there is a lot of controversy about having your seedphase in a QR on your desk. So, a bad usage of Seedsigner could be very dangerous - Use a Raspberry platform which could be potentially insecure
