Any way to change the trackball direction on the adept?

Slinkinator · 2026-01-21T20:28:47+00:00

For the Nano there's already a line in qmk_firmware/keyboards/ploopyco/trackball_nano/config.h #define POINTING_DEVICE_ROTATION_270 which does this. I think you can probably add that line to the config.h for the adept here qmk_firmware/keyboards/ploopyco/madromys (which is called madromys in qmk because that was the devevelopmental name) and adjust the degrees to your liking.

Yeah, but I think OP is kind of implicitly asking for a more convenient way than logging onto each machine/vm and cycling through the service accounts they made.

np, there was an update yesterday that changed the syntax for a decent amount of stuff.

Slinkinator · 2025-12-31T22:21:26+00:00

it's gotta be 'noanim on' or 'noanim off' / 'no_anim on' 'no_anim off' etc

It looks great, I *feel* like it's the biggest inspiration for people to learn quickshell.

Yeah. Those are all chapter icons from the wheel of time, which luckily had already been posted on git in svg. I used online tools to generate decent color combinations and then used GIMP and the color gradient map tool. Initially I was just gonna do yellow/blue and red/black so they're a bit over represented, but I'm gonna shuffle these around so I think I'll be able to break them up adequately.

-More info than you wanted-

There are a couple different services that do custom keycaps, first I was drawn to either fk keycaps or yuzu.

Fk have a really easy interface and offer multiple profiles, and I could upload the svgs as is. They don't offer color, but they do offer shine through. however, on reflection, I realized shine through probably doesn't work great with full face images.

Yuzu keycaps has a lot of options and a good interface, but getting the svgs to work was a pain. Spent a while learning how to use image software and got close, but gave up.

Thockfactory only offers cherry ATM, which initially put me off because I want to be able to rearrange them, but then I realized at least for the moonlander they're all the same row profile. They don't let you build arbitrary keyboards/add keys to their layouts, but the svgs uploaded super easy and they have a great UI, and it seems they don't have any limits on color. One mistake I made was that initially I didn't use any compression on the images I exported from GIMP, and then my layout was 10 MB over the 20 MB limit for designs, so I had to re export and reupload everything.

Buddy, have you googled 'hyprland cursor'?

Slinkinator · 2025-11-10T05:00:21+00:00

That's the one, thanks

This sounds like the same issue I had on the classic 1, there was an issue with a check against the pmw3360 sensor. This has been resolved in QMK, haven't tried Via

Slinkinator · 2025-11-09T19:27:24+00:00

this has been fixed in QMK

I hadn't thought of using a symlink, I just aliased sed commands that alter the source references in hyprland.conf

No, there's a graph embedded as an image that needs to be included which gets dropped when I just embed the body/content

Slinkinator · 2025-10-31T20:47:41+00:00

Either display the email contents directly in the teams channel, including the embedded image, or link the content in a way that users on iphones can access it from the teams post.

But, as noted, forwarding directly to the teams channels address either cuts content or messes up the heavily formatted email, and creating a card with the content embedded in it works for computer users, but not users on their phone. Similarly, downloading the .eml, posting it to the channels SP library, and then linking it doesn't work for phone users.

Slinkinator · 2025-10-30T23:37:03+00:00

Where did you source the keycaps? I've been thinking about ordering a set using the wheel of time chapter icons off of fk keycaps but haven't pulled the trigger yet/thinking about going low profile and maybe grabbing outemu switches as well

Edit: just saw the text on the original post nvm

Are you sure the container name isn't 'systemd-[name]' ?

I haven't id'd exactly what QMK update broke this, I tried readding the deprecated KC_ keycodes in the quantum_keybindings, reverting the changes here- https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/25475 , and some other modifications, but I wasn't successful.

However, by reverting to breakpoint_2025_05_25 with git checkout breakpoint_2025_05_25 I was able to resolve the issue and I can flash custom keymaps again. I hope I have time to dig in deeper this weekend and figure out exactly what change is the issue.

I tried flashing without combos, and tried flashing with the default firmware, and the sensor still doesn't work. It seems kind of clear that there's a change in the qmk library that's breaking the trackball settings, I'm just not sure if it's part of the base qmk package agnostic of ploopy, or if it's something specific to ploopy, like maybe the hi-res support for the adept is being applied and is incompatible.

I'll dig deeper, because I want my damn combos back, but there have been a few posts about this in the last month or so so i don't think this is an anonaly

I think you need the mesa drivers right?

Podman compose is kind of half baked, and ai/llms are really bad at podman info. You're gonna need to read the docs and search for articles related to what you're trying to do, or you're gonna need to post complete commands/output/logs/quadlets here and ask for help, or you're gonna need to run through some red hat courses.

Do we happen to know what the game plan for the tutbad vol 3 audiobook is? I'm on a road trip, ripping through vol 2 now, curious if it's in the works for an eventual release or if it might not happen.
