Making this possible is the open-source firmware QMK, which is the same stuff powering Ploopy’s line of modular mice and trackballs. The firmware lets you easily reprogram gestures, tweak tracking speeds, and even add entirely new functionality through coding.

    How does a track pad require an entire RPi cpu to run?

    Edit: nvm, it’s not, it’s just an embedded Pico chip. I misunderstood.

    Hadn’t heard of this company before; I’m quite interested in getting their (non-trackpad) mouse to replace my Logitech G502 Hero that’s dying. Does anyone know any other companies making open-source (or at least DIY-friendly) mice to compare?

    going through their website it looks dope, but what’s the demand for a desktop trackpad?

      I would love to get one. Really like the option to have gestures and in general the work with a trackpad. Sadly its from canada and getting it to europe will be expensive.
