Does anybody know where to get this replacement diffuser? I don’t have a 3d printer. [uConsole Keyboard Diffuser | Jing](https://jing.io/projects/uconsole-keyboard-diffuser/) I struggle a bit with how much force is required to press down the keys, and apparently this replacement diffuser helps with that! Or does anybody know any other easily accessible tweaks to make the keys a bit more easygoing?

I bought mine here: [Stripe Checkout](https://buy.stripe.com/3cI7sM1601aJfZn2tfeZ201)

Works very amazing, you can even adjust how easy it is to press by screwing the bolts on the front plate tighter.

Theres also lulu’s keyboard but its very expensive.

I have recently found authentic Panasonic EVQWJN008 (same as EVQWJN007) Trackball Sold here: [EVQWJN008 | Navigation Switches, Joystick | PANASONIC | LCSC](https://www.lcsc.com/product-detail/C42416401.html)

How do they compare to the aliexpress ones (non metal upper rim)? I’m currently using the sanded glass bead one but its not for me since it can’t be flicked (goes into the opposite direction).

Also do you recommend a specific less gritty sand paper for the rubber ones? I tried the rough one and the trackball just gets stuck in place sometimes.

Trackball really means a lot to me since its a bit of a struggle to use my current uConsole.

Also I wanted to ask did you try lulu’s trackpad, how is it? 🙂

These are authentic Panasonic manufactured, Aliexpress may have aftermarket - it’s hard to verify.

Thanks just purchased 10pcs. LOL

Mine from aliexpress definitely aren’t authentic because they are missing that good tactile click. Can barely notice it on mine. Also read that fake ones are smooth which was the case for mine.
