If you're a fan of of trackpoint-style input devices like the nubs used on IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads, the folks at @ploopy may have a gadget for you: meet the Bean!
I have their Classic Trackball and am very happy with it.

Achei a ideia do #PocketTerm35 da #Waveshare interessante, apesar da ausência de um #trackball, mas a tela de 640x480, apesar de teoricamente adequada, reforça o retrocesso acumulado ao longo de décadas: apesar de todo o blá, blá, blá sobre convergência e dispositivos móveis, a realidade é outra, com desktop environments pesados demais para rodar em SBCs com 1 GB ou 2 GB de RAM (as poucas especificações minimamente acessíveis nos dias de hoje) e, em geral, pouca oferta de software convergente para algo além de relógios, cronômetros e calendários.
O #GNOME, por exemplo, ainda tem problemas para exibir a grade de aplicativos a 720p, caso o scaling seja de 125% ou maior para tornar a leitura mais fácil em tela pequenas (o que, na prática, reduz a resolução) e, em linhas gerais, parece muito pouco testado para cenários do tipo. E, claro, o GNOME não é exatamente o tipo de ambiente gráfico que você vai rodar num dispositivo, seja ARM, seja x86, com 1 GB ou 2 GB de RAM.
Mesmo aplicativos mais antigos e fora dos holofotes, como #Abiword e #Gnumeric realisticamente esperam 800x600 de resolução. É compreensível, mas problemático. Simplesmente não temos quase nada que rode em 640x480.

My current temporary desktop setup: #HappyHackingKeyboard Professional 2 (electrostatic capacitive #Topre switches) with #Domikey #Orange #Dolch #doubleshot #keycaps
Edit: Just noticed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Hacking_Keyboard that the #HHKB Pro 2 is now 20 years old — released in March 2006 — and the HHKB in general nearly 30 years, released in December 1996.

I have a trackball where the rubber feet are partially falling of. I was thinking of removing them, cleaning the remaining glue and grime with "Goo Gone", and then re-glue the feet back. Is that a good approach? If yes, what type of glue should I use for the feet?

@[email protected] #ZSA is great and their newsletter is one of a handful that I actually read.
Would love to have the same attachment for my #Moonlander!!
Still have to use an #ElecomHuge #Trackball between the Moonlander halves.
Ergonomically it's the best setup I've had, but not having to take my right hand of the keyboard would be neat! -
Since my MX Master 3S switches (both in the time of 1 month) kinda died, did some research, and this time have decided to go with a #TrackBall, and here it is the #Ploppy Adept in all its #3DPrinted glory :blobaww:
I love that the repairability is high, and I can customize it however I want ^^ and best of all, it is #QMK! :ablobcatheart:

Wrote a blogpost about simple (I mean with a shell and a text editor) #X11 configuration.
Covered topics:
1) #Trackball configuration for left hand. Also remapping of some buttons to have scrolling and middle button (not exists out of the box).
2) Theming: #GTK2 #GTK3 #QT , installing cursor(s), fonts and icons.
3) #Xrandr for multimonitor configuration
4) #Xserver settings for #HighDPI
5) #XDG utils and #Emacs as a system file manager
6) #XDM login windowhttps://eugene-andrienko.com/en/it/2025/07/24/x11-configuration-simple.html

Ploopy has made a name for itself over the past few years by offering a line of customizable trackball mice with open source designs that allow you 3D print or modify your own device.
Since launching its first trackball in 2019, Ploopy has followed up with several additional designs for different trackball styles. Last year the company even introduced a TrackPad. Now Ploopy is going back to […]

I just replaced the ball bearings in my 20-year-old trackball with some silicon nitride ones and I should have done this years ago. It feels like a whole new trackball.
