nano-trackball
A very small trackball-only mouse. Mechanical files, PCBs, and firmware all included.
Getting the Dygma Raise firmware to compile was mostly easy thanks to the Github instructions for the Dygma Firmware https://github.com/Dygmalab/Raise-Firmware. I'm on Windows and the documentation seems a little sparse for Windows compared to Mac/Linux which made me nervous that it might not work but it works great with Arduino IDE. The one hiccup I hit was a compilation error related to a "{build.version_flags}" not being defined. I worked around the issue by removing the reference to it in boards.txt. Looks like that was introduced in the linked commit, would be great if somebody from Dygma could take a look so others trying to build the firmware themselves don't also hit this: https://github.com/Dygmalab/Kaleidoscope-Bundle-Dygma/commit/8b526fca1841d70e30682128f0f35292d8cd7e94

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.
