If you build a hotswap trackpoint and would like to share it, please add a single comment to this issue (and edit the comment with updates rather than adding a new comment). Provide a summary of the keyboard, trackpoint, and firmware used, any changes made, and links to any published build details or firmware changes.

I did it waaay back there in 2019. Also wrote that T60 can be cut in half to the size of Pro Micro.

Keyboard: crkbd
Trackpoint: R61

Firmware: Initially used @manna-harbour's just for debugging the trackpoint.

# right
sudo make crkbd:manna-harbour:dfu-split-right MH_MODULE=trackpoint MH_AUTO_BUTTONS=yes LTO_ENABLE=yes MH_DEBUG=yes
# left
sudo make crkbd:manna-harbour:dfu-split-left MH_MODULE=oled MH_DEBUG=yes LTO_ENABLE=yes OLED_ENABLE=yes

My current firmware (WIP) is at rfong/shibui.

Build logs:

• Part 1: sourcing & disassembling the module. No real procedural changes from crkbd hotswap trackpoint doc, but lots of pictures & tips.
• Part 2: physical assembly, mounting, wiring. Was short on space because I use taller headers on my keyboard controllers and I didn't have any surface mount components, so I rearranged the driver wiring so that the stripboard plugs in over the TRRS jack.

Trackpoint module currently faces left but the mount placement was done a bit hastily. Will probably move it down to align with home row and bring it in closer when I redo the acrylic cover.

• Keyboard: crkbd
• Trackpoint: SK8707
• Controller: RP2040
• Build details: https://github.com/joh/crkbd-trackpoint
• Firmware: QMK with PIO PS/2

Not strictly a "hotswap trackpoint build", but very much inspired by it so thought I'd share it here :)
