And just a few awesome resources I found:
- https://github.com/Riesi/ploopy_mouse_kicad
for those that don't want to drop $1.3K/year on Altium to participate in "open source"
- https://www.printables.com/model/993402-ploopy-mouse-scroll-wh…
Concluding,
It's the best we've got as far as open source hardware goes, and I commend them for that.
The wheel is the death knell for this mouse, and I'll probably have to swallow my pride at some point to buy a mouse that can scroll with…
Thankfully the electronics source files fair much better, with altium files available.
And finally, on "open source"
No, the mouse is not open source, at least as far as I'd describe it. I regret not discovering this until after purchasing it. Open source is harder to pin down in the hardware space, but the creators have gon…
Next up, ergonomics.
The mouse appears to have been inspired by Logitech MX Master 3, which would not be my preferred starting point, but here we are. A lot of folks seem to like these more contoured mice, so I thought it might grow on me,…
The creators have mentioned that their priority is widely available components and a mechanism that can last a 20-year lifespan (https://www.reddit.com/r/ploopy/comments/p4n8vm/comment/h99t6fz/), but to me that's a moot target if the thing…
The scrollwheel mechanism itself is a nightmare.
It has some resistance, but otherwise spins freely. God forbid you stop scrolling just a hair before the next tick of the sensor - any movement as you lift off your finger or nick it as you…
But it's definitely not without it's faults.
The scrollwheel is positioned quite far back on the body, offset about a half inch back from the pad of the mouse buttons meaning you really need to crane your finger to pull back and scroll. I …
Let's start with the positives.
It's pretty repairable. Replacement electronics are easily sourced and the 3D printing STL/STEP files are public. It uses the programmable and open source QMK firmware and has a plethora of buttons. Assembl…
#ploopy mouse (https://ploopy.co/mouse/) review 4/10
After getting frustrated at the electronics waste I'm generating by cycling through computer mice every 3-5 years, I decided to grab a kit for the highly repairable #ploopy mouse.
With …
@jonthegeek at a previous role we were doing bespoke mapping of requirements and tests and ended up writing some tooling to attach additional metadata to test results. I don't think it ever made it to the public, but I'd be curious if some…
