Left hand keypad with D pad and scroll wheel?
Hi all, I recently got into the world of ergo mech by borrowing a friend's old Iris v2, and I really love how powerful and customizable things can be with QMK firmware.
Recently, my old n52te has started to show signs of age after a dozen or so years of abuse. If you're not familiar, they look like this:
There's definitely stuff that could be improved on--just being able to build your own firmware for it would be amazing. Having one or two more thumb buttons for layers would be sweet as well.
The community of ergo mech keyboard builders are doing some super cool things with 3d printed builds and all kinds of neat stuff. Since I've just been dipping my toes in, my question is: does anyone know of any good replacements for my n52te? Is this something anyone has tried tinkering around with?
Thanks!

If you're OK with stepping away from a standard keyboard, I have an Azeron Cyborg that I use for most of my games. Paired with reWASD, it is infinitely customizable. It's a bit pricey, but I love having a thumbstick in the mix. Not quite what you're looking for, but maybe it provides some inspiration?
Interesting, hadn't seen that before. Their site doesn't really show how they get their 29 button presses--is is multiple switches for each finger? How's the software for it and, most importantly: does it run on Linux?
The Azeron and reWASD software are Windows only, unfortunately. That said, there is storage for two profiles in the device, so it can be used with a Linux machine after it is configured with the Azeron software. I've heard of folks using AntiMicroX on Linux to configure it, but have never tried myself.
Ah bummer
