Their nano trackball looks interesting, too... are you meant to bind keys on your keyboard to act as mouse buttons, since the trackball lacks buttons?
- bloopernova 5y agoMy mouse feels just like any other. The 3D-printed nature doesn't really affect how it feels under my hand. I haven't had any problems with dirt either. I'm assuming you'd bind keys on the keyboard, yeah. I'm a big fan of more buttons on mice and trackballs though: Like a keyboard with QMK can have layers, so can my mouse. Normal side buttons are mapped to page up and page down, if I hold down my rightmost button, those buttons become volume up/down :)
- floren 5y agoThe pictures make them look almost textured / ridged, is that noticeable when you hold it? I went through quite a bit of effort to sand my prototype (it's PLA, can't be acetone-smoothed), and I think it's nicer for it, but maybe the Ploopy's material (ABS?) feels nice enough un-smoothed.
- bloopernova 5y agoI don't notice the texture at all.
