Scorpius 35 Pro - Cherry blues with trackball

This form factor looks interesting to me: trackball plus large yellow legends, plus Cherry blues. However I'm skeptical about Scorpius now. Does anyone know who OEMs the trackball for Scorpius?

I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

If you don't need the huge typeface or the trackball, get the elbowglue SPOS and do a blue cherry switch swap with a g80-3000LSCRC.

I saw the demonstration video for the Scorpius 35 a while ago on YouTube. Nobody here ever seems to mention it. I guess considering it's a Scorpius that costs more than a Filco, I wouldn't expect it to be that popular. Scorpius key caps are very nice. It's really a shame that I've had 2 Scorpius M10s with failing switches.

I dunno.

I DO know Helen Keller did the typeface.


Oh... I thought it was Larry Sanger:


And I really don't like the crazy layouts they make today:

I absolutely *HATE* the large enter key and tiny backspace. If you're going to have an enter key like that, LEAVE THE BACKSPACE LARGE! They can move the "\" key somewhere else, like ditching one of the windows keys and putting it there for instance.
