Did a little writeup on the Sofle I've been working on!
I’m afraid I’m not able to give the best advice on the trackball, since I don’t have it working yet. But this is the guide I followed so far, I hope it helps! https://github.com/foureight84/sofle-keyboard-pimoroni

Looking for the right split keyboard
I'm looking at building a low profile sofle with a pimoroni trackball. It's a combination of https://github.com/foureight84/sofle-keyboard-pimoroni and https://choc.brianlow.com/

Designed and 3D printed an Alice style case for the Sofle Keyboard
This is my second Sofle keyboard. I really love the first one I built and integrated a Pimoroni trackball. I've documented the process here: https://github.com/foureight84/sofle-keyboard-pimoroni in case anyone is wondering.

Would it be possible to make a trackpoint/trackpad that could fit in a switch socket?
My guess is that you'll need rotary encoder support at the slot you want to use. Here's an example of someone doing this on a Sofle: https://github.com/foureight84/sofle-keyboard-pimoroni

Brain (pro-micro) transplant success!
Yep! It's RGB, I use it to point and click. That's about all there is to it! Haha. It's a little gimmicky but I think it's fun to use. Build guide created by another redditor, here

My new Sofle
It wasn't too bad. I tried to follow the guide that u/foureight84 put together. It didn't exactly work for me but it got me 90% of the way there. I was able to debug the rest on my own, although the trackball only works when it's plugged into the master side. My modified code here.
