I think your egg carton is messed up
All MJF?
I hit mine with a blow torch to melt the outside layer a bit and get it a bit glossy. Makes it a little darker but also a bit of a worn spaceship look. Love it!
Agree that ZMK is good, you using nice!nanos?
Yup all MJF I love the look and feel. Yours looks great, I like how light this came out though. Yup ZMK with Nice Nano’s 3.5 has pointer support and a great community member just released a driver for the PMW3610
Looks like ancient space tech that still turns on. Feelin' a type of way with my prebuilt lol
I'd end up putting in on a computer with an 8k monitor that I'm only using to display 10 lines of 1 cm tall green block letters on a black background.
So it is the interface device to ancient tenchology lol
Why does this look like a Chitauri weapon??
lol I love the look of it, made me want to get used to 35 keys just to justify building it.
Gorgeous build! Are those DES MX caps? I wasn’t aware there was a nice nano 3.5 with pointer support? What size batteries are you using?
Yep DES, probably could have titled it better it’s using nice nano v2’s. The pointer support is being worked on zephyr 3.5 being added to ZMK, still in testing but works great. You can read about it more on ZMK’s discord they have a full pointers channel
Does the trackball drain the battery fast?
Haven’t had it long enough to test. It is the PMW3610 which is low power, I currently have the rest modes all disabled which definitely will eat battery, but I think once I rentable them and get it configured better it would be bad at all.
Ran out of battery today so central with trackball lasted almost 3 weeks. That’s work and personal use, I work from home so this keyboard does both.
Very nice! Also, I don't think I've seen a build with 3D printed keycaps before. Looks great.
They feel great in MJF, I really like the texture
Awesome build
I wasn’t aware there was a wireless version of this out there, doesn’t the trackball sensor eat the battery?
Can you point me to a build guide?
It’s using a low power sensor PMW3610 so not really haven’t had it run out of battery yet to test haha.
There isn’t an offical wireless version, the designer is working on an opensource controller to use instead of nice nanos and waiting for offical ZMK support this is a mod. http://docs.bastardkb.com/help/bluetooth.html
Not a build guide available for this at the moment. I used the offical build guides for the wired version just swapped out the sensor PCB and Holder, using my own slightly modified holder for the nice nanos to move the reset and power to be more reachable.

For some reason, I want to rub my face on them. No, I've never had that thought about keyboards as an adult, and in earlier years it would have been about napping, but this ... this belongs in a shrooms, ecstasy and textures bunker. After its found in a crashed space-ship of course.
Now, if you'll excuse me, its time for my twice-a-decade review of the fact that none of my friends has connections for ANY of those things any more, and neither do I. God I hope someone I know retires and starts(again) taking payments in drugs before my mind is gone anyways. Be nice if this fenanyl bullshit went away too. Make no mistake, none of us are squares, just old-for-millenials.
Looks very futuristic, and that trackball gives off among us vibes.
Holy shit that's cool.
Thank you! Hats off to the designer and community support that made it possible I just assembled. It really is the coolest keyboard I have ever used though
