Questions

How big is the Trackball base PCB?

It measures 110 × 140 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Trackball base use?

159 parts, built around the E73-2G4M08S1C, LTC4125EUFD#PBF, PMW3360DM-T2QU and TLV3011AIDBVR. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Trackball base KiCad files?

From the ntindle/trackball repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is trackball-base/trackball-base.kicad_pcb and its schematic trackball-ball-coil/trackball-ball-coil.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Trackball base design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ntindle before reusing the design.
