Protieusz shared his NewType-36 , a nowt36 variant with an integrated 25mm trackball, per-key RGB, powered by a Waveshare RP2040 Zero.
I have upgraded the nowt36 with the permission from tamago324 to add a 25mm trackball in the middle area and upgrade the mcu from Pro Micro to Waveshare RP2040 Zero and 36 individual RGBs – Protieusz.
The nowt36 , this monoblock split, was originally designed by tamago324 who gave his blessing to Protieusz for the modifications.
