The primary motivation behind v2 was to simplify the build process by ditching the XIAO/Shift Register for an integrated STM32 microprocessor. The only parts that need soldered are the hot swap sockets.

Over the last couple months I've been working on the next version of Bad Wings, the board I've been daily driving for over a year now. Using the stm32f072 onboard and has cirque support (which wasn't working until a couple hours ago - thanks GeorgeN!). I've been using it for two weeks now and I'm happy.

Now that the cirque is working, I need to design a new case.

for sure. I don't know if people are doing it because it's better, or because they're trying to justify having dual trackballs.

I've seen people use one trackball for normal mouse type usage, and the other for scrolling.

I second this. I also prefer ZMK and use it on my wired boards whenever possible.

I think about this board any time I'm considering using screens in a build. the OLEDs are in such a great spot!

There are some low profile tripod stands. the manfrotto MP3-BK is nice, but pretty expensive. There are also a bunch of "Z Tripods" that get used a lot.

A 3d printed case for tenting is definitely an option, but it can take a while to find the right tenting angle so be prepared to possible print multiple variations.
