Moonlander Trackball (no 3D printer)

3 years ago by Slaeter to c/ergomechkeyboards

Been seeing allot of trackball thumb mods but I don't have a 3D printer. Decided to just trace the thumb cluster and scroll saw it out 8).

Im trying to learn how to attack the PMW3320 to the thumb cluster ribbon cable so I don't have to tuck the board that I ripped out of the mouse under my tent. It's a bit of a learning curve so it may not work but giving it a try 8)

This looks awesome! Are you missing the thumb keys where the trackball is?

Not at all! I never found a good use for the right thumb cluster so it's always been random things. Now it has a purpose 8) As I t more used to the custom keyboard I notice I use less and less keys 🔐🔐🔐 I recently made the switch to change the top row number keys to do other things and just use a layer switch for all my number and special character needs

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
