A+ Preorder Update, Week 7

The second-to-last batch of Tier B preorders shipped out earlier this week. Next week, we'll be shipping out all remaining Tier B preorders. After that, we'll begin shipping Tier C. We're still targeting December 9th as the date by which all Tier C preorders will be out; hopefully, we can go faster than that.

We still don't have a date for Tier D preorders; we'll have an official estimate for that as we go through Tier C.

Thanks for sticking with us through this!

Ploopy Adept stopped working after 1 year of use.

I bought a Ploopy Adept in August 2025 and it recently started doubleclick when pressing left click once. Today, the trackball just stopped responding.

When I bought it, it was put together by ploopy and was shipped put together. I opened it up and it seems that the optical chip was never soldered and fell right out of the PCB.

Ploopy is a pretty small company but does anyone know what their warranty states or how was the trackball working fine when the sensor was not soldered and was just placed in the PCB.

Also, not sure how to contact them for support.

A+ (Adept Plus) Programming the Knobs/Dials, Gesture Layer, and Lighting

Got my ploopy A+ yesterday, got the sensitivity to the same as Adept that ive been using for 3 years (apparently 1600? oddly the same as what I use on mice).

Went straight to programming it. As with the previous I needed to change the layout, not sure what the default is based on but it's not the classic DT225 that's for sure.

Managed to get the Default layer the same as my original and did the mirror for lefties (Layer 1)

I did find it interesting that "Drag Scroll" was "CUSTOM (69)" when its "CUSTOM (1)" for me, that change seemed to work no problem.

I think Layer 2 is the "Control Layer". I am a bit more hesitant to change this one as there are a bunch of CUSTOM functions not in my VIA.

I do not see a layer that would equate to the "Mouse Gestures Layer" so that I can re-map those. All of the rest of the layers are empty. The button is also TG(2) which would go to the wrong layer, so I didnt re-map that bit.

Regarding the Knobs/Dials, I see no where to control what way that they scroll. If your right handed you can easily control the left dial with your thumb. If you its scrolling the wrong way, you have to go up to go down.

Its also very clear based on the adjustment of settings that the LED is RGB but as far as I can tell I see no lighting controls besides brightness, which is fine, but it would be nice to make use of that. Also should be noted that "0%" isnt actually off...

VIA not working, A+ not detected as HID device

Hi I just got an A+ and when I try to configure it via VIA it doesn't show as being detected. I've followed the steps at https://ploopyco.github.io/aplus-trackball/appendices/via/ and confirmed in Zadig that it's using a HidUsb driver for all 3 interfaces. But when I go to https://usevia.app/ and try to Authorize Device the Ploopy isn't listed as an option.

Has anyone encountered this or know what to try?
