They have a countdown for the pre-order here[0]. Seems like it's available as a kit Wednesday, August 19th, 2026 at 10am ET to pre-order.

I love all I/O devices..

I think the main difference from the Ploopy Adept is they added two knob buttons?

The repairable, open hardware angle is the real sell for me. Nice to see a trackball designed to be kept instead of replaced.

Some guy did a great job implementing my original idea from three months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48156770 and an even better job traveling back in time to 2019 to document it: https://vlukash.com/2019/01/15/trackpad-in-keycap-corne-crkb...

Hugged.

Not a trackball, but anyone else watch Engineer Bo, or tried their very nice Knob? https://youtu.be/ehd3Ue2fKKM

I dig that the Ploopy knob is QMK based, also high resolution. But watching how much effort E.B. has put into my favorite input device of all time, I can't help but want one of theirs.

I see we've reinvented the slashdot effect.
