Two hackers one keyboard two ways
Sadly I agree. Splits are great. I am eagerly awaiting my ortholinear split keyboard from https://dygma.com/ - no affiliation other than being a customer of their first keyboard, the raise and having the defy on order.
Maybe it's just me, but I think the proliferation of mechanical keyboards brings people closer to the fringe where custom keyboards, layouts, parts and pcbs are the norm for the pursuit of perfection.

Two questions on Dygma Defy
The software is open-source and you can fork it if you want. Here's the link to our Github: https://github.com/Dygmalab/Bazecor 😊

Is this a bug? Macros don't disable the BoomerangLayer feature
This bug is still not fixed after 2 years and it's very disappointing. I use OSL for almost all layers except for macro layer, which I use Shift to Layer.

Macro (?) to send a keycode to the operating system.
Found this https://github.com/Dygmalab/Bazecor/issues/90 where someone figured out F20 is triggering XF86AudioMidMute in Linux. So, this may not need any custom QMK firmware at all, and could be as easy as assigning F20 to some key with VIA and see if that does what you need. F20 is available in the VIA Configure (keyboard icon) Tab under Special down on the lower left side.

Moonlander + Ploopy Nano : anyone else out there?
I have been using a Moonlander for a bit more than 2 years now and have been loving it! Up until a few months ago I used a Logitech M570 alongside it. Looking for a trackball at the office, too, I then went out and bought a Logitech M575 only to realize very quickly that it just is not the same. So my search for an alternative set in almost immediately. Luckily I was also following r/Trackballs and learned about the Ploopy Nano Trackball which I hoped would pair very nicely with my Moonlander. And indeed, it does! I am still getting used to the layout changes I had to make to accomodate the one missing thumb cluster but so far I am absolutely loving it!

My first Dactyl
It’s a Ploopy Nano. Been using it, with any mouse buttons mapped to left keyboard half for about 6 months now and it’s really helped keep my hands pain free.

Microsoft Ballpoint Mouse
The Ballpoints predate my time in the Hardware group by a few years, but I'd be surprised if anyone that worked on those devices would have expected the color to be so nice on the device all these years later, and that the plastic wasn't too brittle to keep it in use today. Might just be easier to take something like the Ploopy Nano and make a case for it to meet your needs vs. trying to retro fit the Ballpoint.

Experience customizing Raise Firmware
So far I've done 2 modifications in the form of Kaleidoscope plugins, both of which I've put up on Github for those curious: • Mouse Layer - This switches my homerow keys to mouse keys whenever mouse movement is detected: wallisc/Kaleidoscope-MouseLayer (github.com). I use to do this with Bazecor by creating a separate layer and manually switching to the layer using a layer shift, but found I used the layer so much that layer shifting became fatiguing for my finger. Then I heard of a modification in the ErgoMechKeyboards reddit where QMK was modified to trigger mouse keys on mouse which inspired me to try something similar. I'm a trackball user and I love this modification, it allows me to use the Ploopy Nano (https://ploopy.co/nano-trackball/) which has no mouse keys but I also enjoy it with my CST L-trac, which does have mouse keys but are stiff and generally less pleasant than the keyboard switches. For fun, I animate the color of all the keys I'm overriding with a rainbow shift effect, this is how it looks in action: https://imgur.com/a/ptOHkcS • Alt Tabber - This overrides certain keys when the left-alt is held. Primarily used for quick alt-tabbing: wallisc/Kaleidoscope-AltTabber (github.com). I have alt as a thumb key and using this I can change the F/J keys to turn into Tab so I can alt tab without moving my hand off the homerow. I also override 4->F4 because alt-f4 is handy. Currently I just set any overridden keys to red, but probably will update it to have some fun LED animations as well at some point Disclaimer: There's probably some inefficient code but at the very least it's fairly simple if people are just curious what a plugin code looks like.
- Possible to purchase *just* the nano board?
