Nice, can you share more details about the wiring of the trackpad ? ---

You just plug it in as you get a new keyboard PCB with the connector on it ---

Fully agree! Its a world of difference. I must have tried 10 different balls for 3 different vendors and they all were just terrible. It made me really not want to use the uConsole at all. I love my HackBerry Pi for the reason of the trackpad so I was super excited when I saw LuLu working on this mod. Jumped on it as soon as he listed it on his Tindie site. My order process to CA, USA **Order Date:** Dec. 31, 2025 **Shipped Date** : January,02,2026 **Delivered:** January,12,2026 I have since ordered more stuff from him. ---

Yes, one of the best features is the optical trackpad, i have 2 Hackberry CM5 and the thing that makes me crazy is the keyboard, way to small for my fingers, have few things also HB that are not great but yeah… everyone have his plus and minus. ---

I have two nice front covers and these optical pads with some nice cm4 cm5 coolers on the way for my next big Uconsole video showing all the mods out there. ---

The back cover with the removable battery door, did you just 3D print that? ---

I redesigned the back cover many times until comes how i want to be. Yes is 3d printed all the case including the middle part, less weight now. ---

There is also the new Firmware 1.2 which fixed all my issues/bugs which I had - it’s quite perfect now. Only a scroll function would may be a very last missing topic. - → v1.2 is here available: [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1412271034719277119/1434942934582689893/1493559753287143424) ---

Just wanted to say that the trackpad is now on the maker’s personal website. It seems like since Tindie has issues he migrated to his own store. [Products – hack2you](https://hack2you.tech/collections/all) ---
