Description

Describe the Bug

Got my ploopyco trackball mini a few days ago, and decided to customize it, after building and flashing the default layout axis were inverted, all the layout I tried a custom one included had the same issue. Rolling the ball to the right made the cursor go left, rolling up went down, etc.

I had to reflash the firmware provided on ploopyco github, to restore the default behavior. That's why I think it's a regbression
