The Nano 2 is still designed to offer a “pure cursor experience” and complement a split keyboard setup or a small macro pad. But the new button could potentially turn it into a tiny trackball mouse.

As with Ploopy’s other peripherals, the Nano 2 runs the open-source QMK firmware. You customize the button’s functionality using the VIA web app, including making it function as a primary mouse click.
