Description
The stock uConsole trackball tends to stick and jump, and many owners stop using the mouse altogether. This keyboard replaces it with the optical trackpad from the BlackBerry 9900. You move the cursor with your thumb like on a phone, smoothly and without jitter, and pressing the trackpad clicks.
The kit swaps two parts of the uConsole: the keyboard board and the front plate. The rest of the device stays as it is, and installation needs no soldering.
What changes after the swap
- Trackpad instead of the trackball - an optical BB9900 sensor where the stock trackball used to be.
- Lighter, quieter keys - version V2.1.1 needs noticeably less force than the original keyboard and makes less noise.
- CNC aluminum front plate - machined from aluminum and anodized, with a ready-made opening for the trackpad. No filing of the original case.
- Volume on the keyboard - LFn plus the up or down arrow changes the volume. The A, B, X and Y buttons send F21-F24, so you can map them to any action in your system.
- Open firmware - ZMK on an nRF52840 microcontroller, released under the MIT license. You can change the key layout yourself and flash it over USB.
Which color to choose
Black matches the black uConsole. Silver matches the original front plate of the silver uConsole. The color applies to the plate only; the keyboard board and trackpads are the same in both versions.
Installation
You replace the keyboard board and the front plate, then move the original keycaps to the new plate. A screwdriver is all you need: no soldering and no changes to the system. The kit includes two trackpads, one to install and one spare.
The keyboard connects to the uConsole over USB as a standard keyboard and mouse, so it works right away in ClockworkOS, Kali Linux, Raspberry Pi OS and other systems. No drivers needed.

Frequently asked questions

Which trackball should I get for my uConsole?
Replacement trackballs work the same way as the stock one, so the problems often come back. ClockworkPi forum users report trying balls from several vendors. The lasting fix is a trackpad: this keyboard puts an optical BB9900 sensor in that spot, with no moving ball and nothing to stick.
How is it different from the stock keyboard?
It has an optical BB9900 trackpad instead of the trackball, lighter and quieter keys, and a CNC aluminum front plate. The key layout, D-pad and the A, B, X, Y buttons stay where they are on the original.
Will it fit my uConsole?
Yes, it fits every uConsole regardless of the compute module (CM4 or CM5) and expansion boards such as the AIO V2. You only replace the keyboard board and the front plate.
Do I need to solder or install drivers?
No. A screwdriver is enough for installation, and the system sees it as a standard USB keyboard and mouse.
Why are there two trackpads in the kit?
The keyboard uses one. The second is a spare in case the first wears out or gets damaged during installation.
Can I remap the keys?
Yes. The A, B, X and Y buttons send F21-F24, so you can map them in your system without touching the firmware. For a full layout change, edit the open-source ZMK firmware (MIT license) and flash it over USB.
