We make open-source hardware. Always useful. Never shitty.

@DHLCanadaHelp A package of ours has been stuck in customs for 3 weeks. Can you help!?

@Kernellinux @asknoahshow Thanks for the mention on yesterday's podcast! And a "hello" to Steve as well!

@SpaceGunX Nice. Good that it's still working as intended. If you get your setup working, I'd love to see some pictures.

@ploopyco Proud owner of a #Ploopy_nano Love this thing, slightly wavy print on the latch piece and the clip sorta in the way of the PCB so it kinda popped off, nothing some CA glue can't fix though.

[ploopy @ploopyco]

@SpaceGunX Glad you're liking the Nano. As for the pins, do they still work okay? They're supposed to be quite snug in the roller bearing dowels. Hopefully there isn't any kind of rattle while the ball is moving. If there is, you and I can work to fix it.

@losnggeneration Nice. Love the Zelda mat, too.

@timesnewboman @dsample No plans on making a new revision with two scroll wheels, but I'm hopeful that the source I've released encourages additional development.

[ploopy @ploopyco]

@losnggeneration That's a fairly common use case. You can see an example of a keymap that implements something like that here: https://t.co/edXrjtJydE

[ploopy @ploopyco]

@Papapishu The sensor makes a difference, for sure. If any of your methods for altering the ball make it work better, I'd be very interested.

[ploopy @ploopyco]

@alexhcranz @Papapishu Thanks for the support! My current project is an open-source headphones kit. Maybe you could build that, too. One step closer to everything being hand-made. https://t.co/hd7BFuSYWs

Hello, I wrote about contracting trackball madness and making my own for The Verge.

[ploopy @ploopyco]

@Sho3Dah_74 No, but if you're interested, talk with the redditor who made it. I think he's interested in providing them to others. https://t.co/GZDZJebvVq
