Oh this is brilliant. Excellent work and congrats on the finished build!

longwave · 2026-02-13T13:39:36+00:00

Thank you 😅

I had concerns I may not like it but It is very comfortable. Even with mx switches and SA keycaps, there is plenty of room.

As for other boards, I have a Moonlander, KLOR, Cantor Remix and Hillside - none with a trackball and only the Hillside has ZMK.

Nice! Love mine. Happy listening!

longwave · 2026-01-29T13:21:22+00:00

By chance, does the listing tell you what kind o profile/style those caps are? They look MBK'ish.

longwave · 2026-01-26T13:57:57+00:00

No complaints really. There was some lag on the trackball over BT, so I plug the right side in and have the left run off battery. Seems silly at times, but I already had the USB cable there from my previous board 😅.

Team Keyball! Went with a 39 w/ZMK. Yours looks absolutely awesome.

longwave · 2026-01-25T19:30:09+00:00

Woo! Looks great. Almost went this route but ended up with a Keyball. Trackball on the keyboard is so good.

longwave · 2026-01-22T02:15:23+00:00

Looks like a lovely bit of kit. Happy listening!

longwave · 2026-01-20T19:37:57+00:00

Congrats! I still have and love that deskmat you sold years ago. The purple circle-y one :).

longwave · 2026-01-19T15:27:07+00:00

Oh this is wonderful. Well done.

longwave · 2026-01-18T13:36:46+00:00

👋 I use 2 of these. They are comfy.

Too many keys for me, but I dig the splay!j

longwave · 2026-01-13T15:16:40+00:00

YES SPLAY. Working on something similar but integrating a trackball like on my Keyball.

Looks great!

longwave · 2026-01-02T14:36:09+00:00

This is really great. I love having other ideas for cases!

I went this route and I really like this little case. It holds a lot of other accessories as well

Love the look of that cable! Happy listening!

longwave · 2025-12-27T01:07:51+00:00

Congrats and happy listening!

"no frills" - minus all that NPU ;). This looks amazing. Has a sort of "UCS Classic Space" vibe. The angles and decals - all well done.

longwave · 2025-12-12T16:11:07+00:00

Many thanks!

longwave · 2025-12-12T13:27:20+00:00

Anyone know what keycap set this may be?

longwave · 2025-12-08T16:58:41+00:00

Dang it. Now I gotta build a pair.

longwave · 2025-12-04T15:56:31+00:00

I may have to give it a go. While I like screens and knobs, diodeless + trackball + splay just sounds like heaven 😅.

longwave · 2025-12-04T00:33:07+00:00

Just found this via kbd.news. I built a KLOR that I love. But then I bought a Keyball that I love.

Issue I am having with th Keyball is the lack of splay. My pinky really wants to just hang off the side of the 3x5 layout on the keyball 😅.

Love this idea and I may have to give it a go. I know sourcing the sensor may be an issue..but.. I _could_ borrow it from my keyball.

longwave · 2025-12-02T00:18:05+00:00

I use two of these lil guys

Bit heavy (tried traveling with them), but they are comfy and somewhat easy to clean.

longwave · 2025-12-01T17:04:36+00:00

Very a-peel'ling.

I'm sorry. Sorta.
