Hey everyone, I'm working on making my own trackball, and the shell design is kicking my ass because I'm also learning cad on the way.

Does anyone have a 3d scanner they can use to create an approximate model of the MX Ergo mouse so I can study it? Going off photos, I just don't see the shape.

The one in the photos is meant to be inspired by MX ergo but not a total copy, but the shape feels a bit off still. And I want to learn more to design for manufacturability.

I think they are posting from mastodon and it does weird things. People should just make an account on Lemmy it makes it easier to follow

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
