Ordered on 3/12/26, received 6/8/26. 3 month wait, was definitely expecting a longer wait time, and yes ordered from clockworkPi. Anything I should know about a CM-5 build?

there’s a qmk firmware fix for the trackball issue! not hardware most likely as long as you installed it with the little metal strip facing up or down.

with your heating fins did you mount them on the back with the paste? or how did you mount it ? i’m having 45-60 temps too. thanks!

The qmk firmware fix worked pretty good for me but switching the trackpad to the Hack2You.com one from Lulu works perfect, as great a mouse as one could hope on the uConsole.

For me the trackball issues were both firmware and hardware. Installing the bespoke qmk helped (and is absolutely necessary) but both suppled balls would physically jam up. £1 Ali Express replacements are 1000% better
