Ploopy Classic Trackball

Hello guys! I have stumbled over this open source Ploopy Trackball , that is reminiscent of that old Microsoft Trackball Explorer (which I never used before). And I was wondering if there are trackball users here who have used it already. :) If so, how do you fare with it in comparison to your other...

Can't say anything about thumb-driven trackballs - but as for me, one of the best are Elecom Deft Pro and Kensington SlimBlade.
I second that! I use both trackballs to reduce repetitive strain on my wrist.

Re: new vertical thumb trackball from Kensington [2020]

Nice to see another trackball model in this niche market. Even though I'm personally not a fan of those thumb models.

Re: RollerMouse - your opinions?

It's a nice addition to my desk setup. However, it mainly acts as wrist rest as using trackballs is more more convenient to me.

You're welcome. It seems that if one wants to try 55g Topre you have to buy a board with said domes or settle for something resembling the feel of those domes, for example BKE domes... From what I have heard, those BKE redux domes are apparently quite different in feel. The better tactility comes wi...

That's quite an understatement...


As for how good these Korean domes fare in comparison to Topre ones:

Same here.

Remove the upper part of the switch including the spring and the stem and boot up the computer. If you still get the same problem I assume that something else is causing this.

The switches are PCB-mounted so that you can try opening the respective switch to see if it's the error source.

Got mine too. The overall build quality is indeed quite good. Not as good as with my Filco, however, given the favorable price I think you get the biggest bang for your buck.

The caps are surprisingly okay. I have expected much worse after reading all the comments regarding them on various sites.

I personally prefer 70% over 60% sized keyboards since I use the function and arrow keys quite often. Plus, I'm not the kind of person who revels in the luxury of having a number of different keyboards for different purposes, moods, or whatever. It's got to be an allrounder.
