  • qmk_firmware

    Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families

  • You may find this layout interesting as a starting point. It is not the one I use (because for now I simply wanted scrolling) but it adds (besides scrolling) a DPI cycling and "reset" capability. The latter means you do not need to open up your Nano every time you want to flash it.

  • qmk_firmware

    Open-source keyboard firmware for Atmel AVR and Arm USB families (by mrossinek)

  • Anyways this is already far too long of a post.. in case you are curious, here is my Moonlander layout and I use this "layout" for the Nano which allows me to scroll.

  • nano-trackball

    A very small trackball-only mouse. Mechanical files, PCBs, and firmware all included.

  • 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!

  • aball

    A Ball - Buttonless trackball for all

  • I did a similar thing with the aball. My extremely barebones version of it was small enough to fit between the thumb cluster and palm rest, so I was able to keep my right thumb keys and not lose any stability. I used that setup for a few months until I eventually built myself a Charybdis Nano.

  • qmk_nano_dualhand

    A keymap designed for two Ploopy Nano devices, with QMK inter-device communication

  • This is actually handled by the QMK firmware which you can flash yourself onto the Nano. There are multiple layouts out there. Personally, I use the maddie layout. But the lkbm adds more features and then there is also this one which was mentioned in another reply here.

  • Just setting up my first corne layout. It will take a while for me to get used to this wow... It's taking so long to type. Attached is my layout, and I mainly use c# on visual studio. Any concerns/advice/suggestions are welcome. It will take a while for me to reply on this thing though.. haha..
