This is my first custom keyboard and thought "how bad can hand wiring be." I've drastically underestimated the time requirement lol
I printed a hot swap compatible case from files generated using this repo from Wylder Builds. The sockets fit pretty well without glue, but not all are tight enough to never pop out. Depends on your print tolerances (mine are okayish).
- Wylderbuilds new trackball model tweaks and BRICKS for easy, cheesy tenting!

I test printed a Dactyl case to see if I like the shape
Regarding trackball and thumb cluster variants of a Dactyl ManuForm: wylderbuilds github has pretty much the majority of, if not every, Dactyl ManuForm thumb cluster and trackball thumb cluster variations.

Let's Design a Keyboard with Ergogen v4: Introduction – FlatFootFox
https://www.etsy.com/shop/Wylderbuilds is a place I've used in the past. They sell parts and completed keyboards, but also have a link out to github with their modifications, at https://github.com/bullwinkle3000/dactyl-keyboard. The whole dactyl space is definitely a rabbit hole, though.

Help with choosing part for my first dactyl manuform build
There's examples of dactyl manuform cases with trackball housing (example GitHub repo), though the circular display is going to be a design topic in itself. Most likely the display protrudes from the upper inner side of case slightly, like a sky scraper roof top Helipad 😋

TRRS on only the Mouse?
The "to do" part is ... more complicated for me (it's harder to wrap my head around). but using the rgb leds, I can confirm that it does properly detect USB. https://github.com/drashna/qmk_firmware/tree/keyboard/ploopy_mouse_sensor/keyboards/ploopyco/mouse

Lower works intermittently while in remote desktop (Preonic rev3)
So it is because of input lag and RDP... I wonder why there is not an official fix? All I see is a comment added in the code suggesting a workaround that does not work because it prevents the usage of other shortcuts such as ALT+TAB (very important!).
