Pipar Point

40 keys, a Sprintek trackpoint, and a top plate that pretends it isn't a keyboard.

An iteration on Sool with a Sprintek trackpoint nested under the right index, a 2-key macro column on each pinkie, and an aluminium top plate to keep the board flat against the desk. Larger battery to feed the trackpoint and the LEDs. Currently in regular use; firmware actively maintained.
