I’m using the thumb cluster keys.

You don’t have to desolder the ribbon cable. You could use some sort of ribbon cable connector, if you have one available. But I found it more practical to only have the wires I needed. And desoldering the ribbon cable was fairly straightforward.

The piantor looks like a nice piece of kit! Unfortunately the PCB doesn’t seem to have any holes to accommodate a trackpoint. There even seems to be a trace right between the YUHJ keys, so drilling a hole is not possible either.

Thanks! I paid $28.55 per SK8707 module + shipping (around $22 to Norway).

Thanks, I guess? :P

Thanks! Let me know how it goes :)

Cool! Let me know how it goes :D

Thanks! :)

Yes, you’re right, I changed the PIO driver directly for that: https://github.com/joh/qmk_firmware/commit/aa0214f5b1b3001cf7cc99419c32c8b87707cb5a

I plan to make it an optional feature for qmk proper, but for now it’s somewhat of a hack :)
