In reply to Anibal. Most trackballs are bigger than the UHK trackball, indeed, but we have no more space. I think the ball size of the UHK trackball will be sufficient despite its small size. The sensor is very accurate.

Love the progress and I can't wait to get my hands on the modules, but I'm concerned with the size of the trackball. It looks to be somewhat in the small side. Someone with big thumbs will have problems with that size, I'd think. Is that the actual size? Are there plans for a bigger trackball version?

In reply to gloggen92. We'll possibly offer a right-handed key cluster module according to the demand. We'll see.

In reply to Oleg. Given the position of the trackpoint module, it should ideally be controlled by the thumb instead of the index finger. Given the mechanical design of the UHK, no other positions are viable. I think it'll work out fine, but we'll see.

Are you planning on doing a mirrored version of the key cluster such that you can have two of them?

Modules look great, but trackpoint position is much lower than its position on thinkpads. It seems that it will be uncomfortable to move the hand that low in order to use it.
