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?

[META] Reddit API changes will make 3rd Party Apps unusable. This also goes against Obsidian values. Shall r/ObsidianMD join the 24h (or longer) shutdown of the subreddits on 12th June as protest?
I don't mind posting it, but be aware it's not an Obsidian script, I use from the browser, using it from an extension called SurfingKeys

Vimium – The Hacker's Browser
For the privacy-conscious interested in SK, it may be worth a read of this GH issue: https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/issues/1796
I empathise with the author wanting to make a buck but it's hard to reconcile the approach he took with the level of trust granted to this extension.

I just found out you can navigate through reddit posts using J and K
Was this issue about the bundled search hijacker resolved in some sort of positive way? I abandoned SurfingKeys as soon as I heard about that and haven't looked at it again. It'd be nice if that was all rolled back, but I switched to Vimium and haven't found it to be particularly worse, at least not for the way that I browse the web. The only thing that I've been missing is the vim-like text editor but, for me, that's a relatively minor feature; I don't write giant comments that often.

Leap.nvim for the browser
Moved from it in favor of more features that surfingkeys provide. If you know a little bit of javascript you can conquer your browser!

Tridactyl's key feature is "native messaging".
A further alternative is https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys. Its key feature is a javascript configuration - allowing you to bind arbitrary javascript to a key.
