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
That looks genuinely gorgeous, and the part I assume you cut with the scroll saw looks super clean, you did a great job with it
Thanks mate!
How do you click usually with these setups?
I use my left thumb and made the bottom right button left click and the one next to it right click
How is it? I’m building a Scylla currently, couldn’t quite go full trackkeeb yet, seems like it’s not fully sorted at this stage, plus I’m not full vim master so…
But got elecom huge currently to pair with the Scylla. However curious on your experience so far… Also maybe compared to a thinkpad trsckpoint… If youve been there?
First trackball and it works pretty well! I had to learn it which took about a week but now works great. Attached it to my chair and now just lean back and use my TV sometimes to do work 8)
