It's Control Panel Saturday! Here's Philippe Caza's 1986 cover to a French translation of Frederik Pohl's Heechee Rendezvous. Those gold-ring-powered controls are only the third oddest thing here, after the space jellyfish and that bizarre seatbelt.

More custom trackball!

Some more progress on this custom trackball. That's the core "module" for it comprised of the main PCB + ball. Stuff like button clusters and wrist rest will literally be bolted on to that.

The ball itself's also 3D-printed, works better than expected!
