Default firmware
The Ploopy Adept Trackball ships with QMK preloaded. Currently, we’re shipping with version 0.22.4.
The Adept Trackball supports VIA out of the box for easy button remapping! Use the VIA online web-app here to quickly and easily reconfigure your button setup to just what you prefer.
Want to load new firmware onto your Ploopy Trackball? Loading new firmware is fast and easy, and doesn’t require anything except your computer. Check out our guide here. It includes a full set of instructions on loading new firmware. You can load new firmware with tools like QMK Toolbox or the QMK Configurator.
Note:
Because this trackball has roller bearings, it’s noticeably louder that other trackballs. It makes a sort of scratchy grinding noise when the ball is moved. It’s a noise that you will notice during use. Please keep this in mind before ordering.
