  • trackball

    A trackball mouse. Mechanical files, PCBs, and firmware all included.

    • This is explained on page 4 of the schematic for the vertical PCB - it's not a single sensor, you have 2 LEDs shining at 2 phototransistors. They shine through the holes in the scroll wheel and as you turn the wheel they get blocked at different times.

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
