The 34-key Q-Ballz by Protieusz, featuring two trackballs and CORE-A MCUs, was inspired by an anime.

The case design was inspired by a Neo Zeon prototype mobile suit, Qubeley, one of the underrated MS from the Gundam Zeta series hence the name "Q-Ballz" – Protieusz.

Q-Ballz sports two trackballs as the author's previous OverLord. The top ball is for mouse movement and the bottom one for scrolling.

Specs

  • 34 keys
  • MX, soldered
  • CORE-A MCU
