Default firmware
The Ploopy Trackball ships with QMK preloaded. Currently, we’re shipping with version 0.10.54.
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.
We now offer trackballs for left-handed ballers! It’s exactly identical to a right-handed trackball, but it’s for lefties. Celebrate! But note that the writing and the logo and all of that is actually mirrored!
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.
