    I wasn’t aware there was a wireless version of this out there, doesn’t the trackball sensor eat the battery?

    Can you point me to a build guide?

      It’s using a low power sensor PMW3610 so not really haven’t had it run out of battery yet to test haha.

      There isn’t an offical wireless version, the designer is working on an opensource controller to use instead of nice nanos and waiting for offical ZMK support this is a mod. http://docs.bastardkb.com/help/bluetooth.html

      Not a build guide available for this at the moment. I used the offical build guides for the wired version just swapped out the sensor PCB and Holder, using my own slightly modified holder for the nice nanos to move the reset and power to be more reachable.

      Ran out of battery today so central with trackball lasted almost 3 weeks. That’s work and personal use, I work from home so this keyboard does both.
