Ploopy Classic 2 open source trackball
The Classic 2 is a brand new revision of the original Classic, and kits are available today starting at $144CAD! The Classic 2 is just like the original in every way that matters. It’s also a major upgrade for the few things that needed tweaking.
A common issue with the original Classic was that the scroll wheel would often act oddly if spun too quickly, or would sometimes reverse direction unexpectedly. We’ve also released full assembly documentation and everything you’d need to build a kit, repair it, make one yourself, or mod it. The biggest challenge for us is that BTUs are very expensive, even in large quantities, and it’s a very tough for us to balance the quality we want to deliver and price.
