@mechanicalkeyboards I've had this setup for ~6 years now. I don't think they make the white trackball mouse anymore. The ball also lights up -- I don't think the new models do that anymore, either.
The keyboard has Cherry MX browns in it. This is the original Ergodox EZ model, so they're soldered in there.
Do you use the trackball with one hand exclusively or mix it up? Just thinking about the middle placement
One hand pretty much exclusively. I almost always use my right; I might occasionally use my left if I'm needing to hold a key with my right hand, but I that doesn't come up often. It really just fit on the desk better to put it in the middle. At first I thought it might be more ergonomic that way, but I don't think it really makes a difference.
(This is OP, by the way, for some reason your comment didn't get forwarded to my Mastodon account that I originally posted from.)
The ways of lemmy federation are mysterious and "best effort".
great setup!
