It is! You can perform a click with it, but won't "feel" the click, since there is no haptic feedback module, which the steam controller has.

Thanks! Yes it is!

This will be for sale very soon, it's not listed yet, I was just able to get it a bit sooner ๐Ÿ˜„

The Elora is also undergoing the last few steps before going for sale, I'm also waiting for it and can't wait to try out the module system!

The 4 keys next to each other are the thumb keys, so the keyboard would sit like this on the desk.

Oh no, the red cable is actually facing away from you when using it. I guess I shouldn't have taken these pictures at these angles ๐Ÿ˜…

They're two separate halves, when using it you'll put them further apart from each other..

It isn't wireless. I'm not sure how the wires would end up in your lap when the keyboard is on your desk.

Latest build: Dilemma Max (images2.imgbox.com)

Dilemma Max by BastardKB; It has an integrated RP2040 microcontroller chip and diodes and underglow leds came presoldered, so soldering the per-key LEDs and switches and assembling the trackpad and case took me close to 2 hours.

I'm still looking for a display to use on the left side.

This isn't inside Den Haag Centraal ๐Ÿ˜„

I think a giveaway is alright, sale I'm not sure of.

To be honest a standard build like this from a vendor does not add anything at all. Since it's a very well known keyboard with a standard plate case. It would be a different case if this was someone's first build.

And as said the promotional posts got really out of hand in the old subreddit and after it closed it started to appear in picture channels of almost every keyboard related Discord server, where otherwise pictures of fresh and new builds would be shared.

I get that vendors want to promote, but only seeing the same type of posts and not seeing a single user build of one of their products raises a red flag for me.

Yes I use the trackball with my index and middle finger and the 3 way thumb switch is mapped to left/middle/right mouse click. The trackpad is used for scrolling.

Ideally you put the halves at shoulder width, so the default TRRS cable is probably long enough, unless you want to mount your keyboard on your chairs armrest for example, and run the cable underneath your chair.

That's just because of the shape of the keycaps, I want the keycaps of the thumb keys going "upwards".
