Logitech Trackman Marble for pointing

Hahah. Layers and combos. You can see a few people’s layouts on 30 key boards at the keymap db website. What’s even better is I actually don’t even use all the keys lol. https://keymapdb.com/

80wpm usually but I’ve hit 100 when I am being a try-hard hahaha. Swapped to aptmak a few days ago so I am back to 40-50 wpm now while I get used to the new layout.

Hahaha sometimes hackintosh but mostly Linux and windows at work.

Built it, it’s a cheap diy option called the Cheapino https://github.com/tompi/cheapino

Pretty affordable option though at low key count you could likely get a better build for a similar cost. Keycaps are whatever cheap aliexpress I could find hahaha.

Doing it again I’d go for the badwings that Hazel just posted here

Ran out of battery today so central with trackball lasted almost 3 weeks. That’s work and personal use, I work from home so this keyboard does both.

Linux Mint

Thank you! Hats off to the designer and community support that made it possible I just assembled. It really is the coolest keyboard I have ever used though

It’s using a low power sensor PMW3610 so not really haven’t had it run out of battery yet to test haha.

There isn’t an offical wireless version, the designer is working on an opensource controller to use instead of nice nanos and waiting for offical ZMK support this is a mod. http://docs.bastardkb.com/help/bluetooth.html

Not a build guide available for this at the moment. I used the offical build guides for the wired version just swapped out the sensor PCB and Holder, using my own slightly modified holder for the nice nanos to move the reset and power to be more reachable.

Yep DES, probably could have titled it better it’s using nice nano v2’s. The pointer support is being worked on zephyr 3.5 being added to ZMK, still in testing but works great. You can read about it more on ZMK’s discord they have a full pointers channel

Haven’t had it long enough to test. It is the PMW3610 which is low power, I currently have the rest modes all disabled which definitely will eat battery, but I think once I rentable them and get it configured better it would be bad at all.

lol I love the look of it, made me want to get used to 35 keys just to justify building it.

They feel great in MJF, I really like the texture

Yup all MJF I love the look and feel. Yours looks great, I like how light this came out though. Yup ZMK with Nice Nano’s 3.5 has pointer support and a great community member just released a driver for the PMW3610

I was at a similar place with colemak-dh plus a swap to ergo. Stuck at 60 wpm for a while. I stopped testing for a few months just typing for work and then did a test and hit 80WPM I think 60 shows good comfort and then just more time you’ll get faster

Yo, how’d the build go? You get parts in yet?

I’ve got VIA support setup on my Cheapino following this guide https://youtu.be/7d5yzBOup9U?si=536t5RkniwjCJWkI

Looks like he’s also got a guide for VIAL https://youtu.be/O8pdUPqPG3k?si=BlbiXmcjtrzZ-2WO

Did you order enough PCBs for 5 keyboards or 5 pcbs? Because 5pcbs will only be enough for 2 keyboards… As for cost I do not know. The convenience of being able to buy something assembled I think is worth a lot tbh

I’m glad to hear it. Linux in general has gotten way better in that regard. I haven’t had to fix any driver issues in years just install and it works.
