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
