Sofle Pico Pimoroni Support

The Sofle Pico was designed for Pimoroni support on the right hand in lieu of a rotary encoder. The outermost column of pins on the patch bay on the right hand line up with the Pimoroni pin out. However - after trying it out, the experience is not great, so it’s not recommended. The cursor movement is ‘jenky’ at best.

QMK does officially support the Pimoroni. There may be a way to improve the jenky movement in QMK.

If you find a way to make this work well, please submit a PR.

An additional mounting bracket will likely need to be designed to position the trackball comfortably, positioned above the pcb and angled toward the thumb.
