Mousepound64 Online

Mousepound64 is not for everyone. In fact, it is not for almost anyone. It is for the hyper-specialist, the workflow fetishist, the person who looks at a hammer and asks, "Why does the handle have to be straight?"

Building a Mousepound64 is not a purchase; it is a penance. You cannot buy one assembled. Vexel, now rumored to be living off-grid in the Oregon woods, only sells PCBs and acrylic cases via a Telegram group. The queue is 18 months long. mousepound64

If you have never heard of the MP64, you are not alone. For every thousand mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, there is exactly one person who has soldered together a Mousepound. But that ratio is shifting. Slowly, painfully (due to the wrist stretches required), the word is spreading. Mousepound64 is not for everyone

At its core, Mousepound64 (MP64) is a paradox. It is a 65% mechanical keyboard, split down the middle into two mirrored halves. But where the right half’s "J" key should be, there is a concave, 55mm polycarbonate trackball. Where the left half’s "F" key lives, there is a haptic scroll wheel with 64 detents (hence the name). You cannot buy one assembled

Inside the cult-like devotion to a 64-key keyboard, a trackball mutation, and the ergonomic revolution no one asked for.

The device was first conceptualized in 2021 by an exiled industrial designer known only as "Vexel." Tired of switching between a Planck keyboard and a Logitech MX Master 3, Vexel did something unhinged: he cut a $300 keyboard in half with a bandsaw, routed out the PCB, and hot-glued the guts of a trackball into the cavity.

As Vexel wrote in the final line of the build guide: "You are no longer a user. You are a keeper. Now get back to work."
