Hi folks, I’ve been working on this keyboard pretty much since January of this year, and I’ve finally got it to the point that I can call it done! If you’d like to build one, all files are available here.

This is an MX-based keyboard, 36 keys with integrated trackball. The github page has a bunch more details. I also have a choc version in dev using the same style that’s based off the Trinidox.

Let me know what you think!

    This looks really cool. I’ve been interested in the idea of keyboards with built in trackballs for a while now, I really need to make some time to build one.

    Thanks for sharing!

      Fingerpunch.xyz has a few boards with integrated trackballs. Ximi, FFKB v3, Rock On v3 and upcoming Vulpes Majora

      I was pretty blown away the first time I used a split with integrated trackball. I’ve since been on a mission to get a trackball on all my keyboards 😎

        That’s awesome. I’m currently in the process of designing the PCB for the 40% ortho I’ve been working on. Once I’m done with this one I’m definitely going to build a split, maybe I’ll have to build one of yours because the more I look at it the more I like it lol.

          Nice… I’d really like to tackle a PCB design. I’ve been playing with the idea of make a flex PCB for the flow series, but I have too many projects already, hehe. Looking forward to seeing your project!
