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)
