Input Devices / Re: Microsoft Trackball Explorer vs Kensington Expert vs Elecom HUGE.
« Last post by Stupidface on Tue, 25 November 2025, 00:48:02 »The trackman Marble FX I'm referring to is this one.
Thank you for the clarification. [tips hat]
After seeing the video of Eric S Raymond on the Tech Syndicate youtube channel,
I think I found the video here:
Great stuff. There are some nice lingering shots of a grey-corded, PS/2, T-CL13/Logitech TrackMan Marble+ (the "+" indicates the addition of a scroll wheel) at the 7:38-7:45 mark. I recognised it because I used its white-corded, USB connector successor (the T-BB13) for many years. There were times when I wanted to have a comparatively inexpensive spare on hand for travel and connecting an active PS/2-USB adapter to a T-CL13 effectively gets you a T-BB13, but for less money.
Any road, I am grateful to you for mentioning the video because…well, I’ll see if I can explain.
Yonks ago, Eric S. Raymond wrote this webpage:
http://www.catb.org/esr/trackman-conversion/
On it, he talks about how the three-button Trackman T-CL11 is a near-perfect pointing device whose ergonomics are unmatched, then goes on to moan about Logitech adding a scroll wheel, putting a switch in it, and having it serve as a middle button on subsequent Trackman models.
The problem (according to him, at least) is that this change makes possible to accidentally scroll-click when you mean to click. So two button + clickable scroll wheel models are a “deal-killer” (again, according to him). As the page shows, he put a lot of work into attempting to update his three-button, PS/2 trackball to a USB device.
And now, ages later, I see a video that shows him using… a T-CL13 Trackman with scrollwheel. Interesting - I wonder what prompted him to change his view?
and his logitech thumball, I decided to get one of them for myself. Obviously it had to be an ebay item shipped from the US.
And that's how you ended up with the Logitech M570, is that right?

Hi again.
One more question.
How much is the overall weight of the board?
I hope it has enough weight so it doesn't slide on the desk.

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] | GMK CYL Selene | Approved Samples!
« Last post by whysoda on Mon, 24 November 2025, 18:52:20 »Hi Everyone! I'm back once again just as we're heading into the end of 2025. Once again, apologies all for such a delayed update. More medical/personal emergencies came up about a week after my initial post here, but I'm okay now!
Big update for those that are still following this set - samples have officially been approved! I have updated the IC link here with white balanced photos of the approved samples in both direct sunlight and in the shade. Please note, how the images look will vary depending on what device you are looking at the samples on. I white balanced these photos on a color accurate monitor, so your viewing mileage may vary.
That being said, I'm planning on taking more photos of the samples in other lighting conditions, however I am currently traveling out of town for work/the holidays so I'm hoping to have those in a few weeks' time.
In addition, we have one more vendor joining the list for those in the JP market, which is super exciting!
Okay, I think that's it for now update wise. As always, please let me know your comments/thoughts, and look forward to updating you all as this project progresses, thank you

Keyboards / Re: Are Wooting really worth ?
« Last post by BucklingSpring on Mon, 24 November 2025, 16:21:38 »Aesco a83, induction key switch
wooting is obsolete.
Keebord nerd hasbin here. I used to spend hours per week on GH. But kind of lost interest few years ago (still have the kb collection in crates though).
Dropped by today to see if the forum was still up. But now those induction key switches got me curious. Do I need another keyboard after all these years?
Ddjeezus tp4tissue, I think I will have a relapse and buy an Aesco.
