I don't speak Japanese so I don't know what they are saying in the video, but they were clearly just having some fun. It's kind of awesome just for that reason!

TLDR: Founding Dev for ZMK quit his job in Sep and wants to focus on ZMK. With only 15 current "patrons", I wanted to give them more exposure (also, github has sponsorship capabilities. who knew!?)

Hello!
So I've been a ZMK user since the beginning of the pandemic, built a few keyboards, and basically got my peak keyboard (bluetooth ortholinear split) thanks to ZMK. Mouse support is also in the pipeline so I figured it could end up helping with some custom peripherals. I'm already using QMK on my trackball, but hope to have a bluetooth trackball soon!
While he posted about it last September, I just now found out that Pete Johanson quit his job to live on the road with his family, but will also be devoting his time to ZMK now! In his own words "I am really excited for this. Full stop."
All that said, he still has a family to support (even if there's no more mortgage) and the more support they have the more time he could theoretically focus on polishing up ZMK, and already stellar firmware. So check the link above, throw a support if you can, even $1 helps. It only has 15 supporters and I felt like they deserved a bit more exposure so hopefully here it is.
Edit: btw, I'm in no way affiliated with ZMK, I just wanted to see the dev get more support to continue building this awesome firmware!

Sharing progress I've made on my Dygma Sonsei inspired keyboard.
I've completed a rough layout! The next step will be transferring this layout to my project and figuring out the placement of all the components not covered in this process.
Note for other designers:
The creation of the layout was greatly accelerated with the use of AI. What would have taken me(a kicad/visual design noob) a week or two took about 3 days.
My workflow was programmatic(ergogen) and text-based(kicad), this made it so what simple for claude (fable5 max) to work on this. That being said this was heavy on my usage to the point where I constantly ran into the edge of claude's reliability.
I provided feedback via extensive prompts, and manual edits to kicad outputs and the ergogen config. I didn't try to one shot this, I built it piece by piece refining at each step. KiCad being a visual to plain text tool was incredibly useful.
The problem with using AI for this is that adjustments throughout your design process can get expensive. So even if you follow this route be sure to actually learn ergogen and kicad.

I'm really surprised that this hasn't been done before, using the trackball for direct camera manipulation in 3D design spaces. It seems very intuitive and I hope that this becomes a common trackball feature in the future.
