'''Qtronix KT-30''' is a keyboard featuring a large three-button [[trackball]]. The design is similar to the [[Cherry G80-1800]], but with the [[lock key|lock LEDs]] to the left of the [[function keys|function key]] row instead of to its right. Where Cherry added a small trackball by raising the numeric keypad in the [[Cherry G80-11800]], Qtronix placed a much larger trackball to the far right.

The keyboard is [[XT/AT switchable]], with a [[Serial interface|serial]] lead for the trackball.

Instances with Cherry MX Blue switches are documented here. There are apparently other variants of this board with different switches.

===KT-30BP===

This keyboard has vintage [[Cherry MX Blue]] switches.

The keycaps are a mix of double-shot and dye-sub. The 1u keycaps are double-shot. All others are dye-sub. They seem to be [[Tai-Hao]].

The PCB design includes anti-ghosting diodes.
