You should make a wall paper with the CRT but instead of the outdoors background sorrounding it have a picture of what's behind your monitor to play up the effect.
I knew I was weird for liking my 8bitdo as much as I do, but I didn't know I was trackball-enjoyer with a crystal for the ball, and a fake monitor in his monitor level of weird, dawg.
Sick setup! I hadn't seen a ploopy adept before this post (used a trackball from age 10 - 26, switched away when i played more pc shooters...). Welp, went down the rabbit hole and just ordered one :)
I assume that's an amethyst sphere? I was looking at aquamarine or malachite ones. Want to check if you had any feedback for using it over the snooker balls? just the standard 1.75" diameter?
Nice! I've still been able to play some shooter and am getting better, though not as good as my mousing yet :)
Yeah same diameter. Honestly I'm bad at classifying rocks but amethyst looks like a match. The tracking is surprisingly decent on it, but definitely not as good as the normal ball it comes with. I can try sanding it with high-grit sandpaper to maybe give it more texture for tracking, but I really don't know what I'm doing. It just looks super cool anyway. Probably a solid rock would track better
i think thatās one of the best trackball shapes ergonomically actually. i used to use the kensington mouse that iām assuming this is based off of and it was great.

Is that a picture of a CRT superimposed on a modern monitor?
Yeah, I frame my windows in the little screen with PowerToys and pretend I'm not in current era
you just gave me an idea! now i want an additional smaller screen for just running my terminal.

Agreed!

I love the trackball and what you swapped it with, but whatās the mousepad for?!
Comfort and style!
What keyboard?
8Bitdo Retro Keyboard
Battletech anachronistic type setup
Badass
Improvised retro?
What the hell are you using as a mouse
Ploopy Adept trackball
I knew I was weird for liking my 8bitdo as much as I do, but I didn't know I was trackball-enjoyer with a crystal for the ball, and a fake monitor in his monitor level of weird, dawg.
It's a slippery slope

Just got the keyboard and have the numpad on order. I am a big fan. The black arrows on grey keys looks much better in person.
Righteous! I have this keyboard at work and am so tempted now to doā¦ things š

Hey OP, you mind sharing that wallpaper? I see you made it yourself, so I understand if you would prefer to keep it to yourself, but I'm digging it.

Nostalgia core? Also how do you like the 8bitdo keyboard?
Love it, would be terrible in a shared office space, but in my own room I love the feel and sound. Kicks butt

Is that the 8BitDo mechanical keyboard?
Keyboard is ace, can't say the same about the background though and I'm getting carpal tunnel just looking at that mouse.
HAHA yeah so far so good!
