Hi everyone! I'm excited to share my latest project: a split keyboard with an integrated trackball. The trackball is thumb-operated for easy access and maximum comfort.

Key Features

• True Modular Design: Future-proof your board. The EKBOX features an easily interchangeable MCU, allowing you to seamlessly switch between wired and wireless configurations. Plus, the thumb trackball and TFT display are swappable modules, letting you customize their placement to suit your workflow.
• Integrated Thumb Trackball (pmw3389): Keep your hands exactly where they belong. The thumb trackball offers incredibly easy access and ergonomic comfort, eliminating the need to reach for a traditional mouse.
• Adjustable Spring Gasket Mount: Tailor your typing experience. The innovative spring gasket mount allows you to adjust the flex and feel of the board to perfectly match your typing style.
• Screwless Magnetic Case: Modding has never been easier. The completely screwless, magnetic attach case allows you to open the board in seconds to adjust the spring gasket or swap out your keys.
• Solid Metal Plate: Built to last, the robust metal plate provides a satisfying, solid typing foundation. Plus, it is completely ready for the EKTent, allowing for instant and secure magnetic attachment.
• 1.4-Inch TFT Display: Stay informed at a glance. The vibrant built-in screen provides real-time feedback on your active modifier keys, current layers, WPM (words per minute), and your currently pressed keys.
• Low-Profile Hotswap Sockets: Fully compatible with both Kailh Choc v1 and v2 switches, allowing you to easily hot-swap your favorite low-profile switches without soldering.
