A dactyl manuform keyboard with integrated trackball. The images and build description is for the 4x5 variant. A 5x6 variant exists here but is yet untested.
Quote from the tabloids: The comfort is through the roof!
- integrated 34mm trackball using the PMW3360 sensor
- ceramic trackball bearings
- lowpro choc v1 keyswitches, 40 keys total
- USB-C interlink cable
- blackpill STM32 from weact
The list below assumes you want to build a 4x5 variant with a trackball on the right side and no trackball on the left side...so modify to suit your needs.
| Item | Mirrored? | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| left case | Yes | 1 |
| right case | No | 1 |
| bearing holder | No | 3 |
| blackpill holder | No | 2 |
| plate | 1-yes and 1-no | 2 |
If you want to build a 5x6 variant, the print list is essentially the same, but use the plate, left case and right case in this folder.

You'll also need a PMW3360 sensor board. You can either purchase one from tindie, or make your own.

I use the top row for mouse keys which works out well with the trackball position.
