I put put dots on all my mice this morning. They all slide they are running on air bearings!
Shaking the mouse in KDE has never been easier!

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

ZSA has a few variants that are worth looking. It takes a bit to adjust, be prepared to spend a week or two typing slow and needing a cheatsheet to know which layer contains which key/function.
There's also a thriving market for custom built keyboards on Etsy. Corne and Sofle layouts are popular and if you're feeling extra DIY you can just buy the boards/switches/controller/case individually and solder them together. The controllers are typically using QMK or ZMK firmware and there's a whole sub-community of fellow nerds so you'll find plenty of guides/git repos/configs to help you along.
I went with the ZSA keyboard first, they've done all of the hard work for you (and their layout creation tool is very nice). Now that I'm familiar with the ecosystem/community I'll probably build my next one so I can make a custom sized/sculpted layout (gotta justify this 3D printer somehow...).
