I got 10 trackballs off Aliexpress and 10/10 didn’t work. The original doesn’t track 10% of the time.

Could you provide a link to the one you got?

It’s not for sale right now for whatever reason.

I got this and it is working well.
A shim with an inner diameter of 7~7.5mm can be inserted for a better fit.

I got two sets of 10, but the first one worked.
That listing is no longer available but use EVQWJN007 as keyword.

not at the same time, but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work.

Yeah , dumb comment from my part now that i have my hands on it (i recived it the 2nd , i did not know the device )

PCIe anyone? It is far from ideal - i made a second version with SATA cables (differential trace impedance). Wifi (PCIe) and Bluetooth (USB) work. SSDs dont - probably because of noise. But it should be possible to get a flexible PCB with the correct impedance and the needed resistors/capacitors in place.

WOW. Amazing job!!! For the SSD, it’s very sensitive to noise, I confirm it. Maybe a metal shell on the cables should help?

I’m working on a lego-compatible backplate and antenna mount called the uPorto

It’s on printables - just waiting for the spambot to unblock me to share a link.
