Protieusz keeps adding trackballs to everything he encounters. ;) OverLord is a monoblock split keyboard with 2 trackballs and 2 MCUs on a single PCB, a heavy modification of darakuneko's Noraneko42L.

The layout is referred to as "Lotus", which I wasn't aware of. At first sight I thought this was another board with the willow layout, but on further inspection the columns go the other way around. Interesting.

Specs

  • 36 keys (5x3+3)
  • MX, soldered
  • Lotus layout
  • 2x RP2040 Core-A controllers
  • 2x trackballs
