Swap out the right thumb cluster on the ZSA Moonlander for a Pimoroni trackball.
Code and full BOM for using this available on the Github repository.
Note: The holes are all designed to reuse the screws (both the bottom ones and the lateral ones) from the original thumb cluster. For the lateral screws, it's best to use the smaller screw (without the spring) to cut threads in the plastic, then the larger screw can be put in as normal.
Also, it's probably easier to connect the ribbon cable to the keyboard before closing the enclosure.
Step file is included if you want to take this model further, I expect that you probably want to try to move the trackball closer to the keyboard, but that'd likely require cutting the PCB for the trackball. This trackball isn't ideal so I'm not going to continue refining it since I'm already moving on to connecting a better trackball via an arduino in MK2.
