- amatecha 5y agoAnother ultra-small trackball would be the one used for the MNT Reform[0] (which also happens to be open hardware). However, I don't know if it's fully ready-to-use with any arbitrary computer, yet. I know it's intended to be possible to be used with any computer but you'd have to check into that yourself. If you're interested and willing to be patient about it just keep an eye on the creator's mastodon account[1] where he posts all the most up-to-the-minute updates about the project. Or, heck, send him a message to ask about it :) [0] https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform [1] https://mastodon.social/@mntmn https://mastodon.social/@mntmn
- ruined 5y agovery cute, but the ball on the mnt looks a little undersized for comfortable manipulation, and it's not shipping until december. and i'm impatient so i went ahead and ordered a ploopy :D
- amatecha 5y agoAh yeah the ball itself does look a little small eh? Not sure, I haven't used one in person. One day I shall though, as I intend to order an MNT Reform sometime soon! Hope you enjoy the Ploopy!!
- j-pb 5y agoI have one and I love it. Feels super nice, very accurate. The only thing I'd change is giving it a full body click, so that the entire case/ball functions as a button when pushed down.
- ruined 5y agoyeah, im a little apprehensive of having a clickless pointing device, but i already have occasionally-used mouse buttons mapped on my ergo so it shouldn't be a huge hurdle
- bloopernova 5y agoThank you, this seems like a good option once I get my Keyboardio Model 100 in the new year.
