The Ploopy Trackpad is an open-source trackpad powered by QMK. All design files are available for free, with complete assembly instructions.

The Ploopy Trackpad is here! As you may have guessed, it's completely 3D-printed, and it runs QMK. It's powered with a RasPi Pico, and uses the Microchip ATMXT1066TD (a very, very high-end chip) to do all of the tracking – crop_octagon.
