I'm taking the plunge... decided to switch off the #trackpad on my laptop to be see if I can get on with the #trackpoint. I'm going in...

Zur Geschichte des #Maus-Ersatzes von #ThinkPad Notebooks und Co.

Do you reach at creating a digital signature matching your analogue one using only a #ThinkPad #TrackPoint ?

(No mouse, no touch pad, no stylus)

Yes, I'm a "#Trackpoint Supremacist" since it's the superior input method on the go, in crammed space and when a mouse is not an option...

And yes, I do think that one can even game with it!

Bummer that @frameworkcomputer doesn't have any current plans to support a #trackpoint.[1] I get it though, and here's hoping the third party community can come up with something.

Please Dell #PointStick, why do I have to choose between sroll _OR_ middle button click? Why not both? If you copy ThinkPad #TrackPoint, copy it well, it does both!

@Joseph @Paradox depends...

i know that #Trackpoint|s are not Tournament-legal for most #FPS'es since they act like a "sniper button" and are more convenient than DPI toggles...

@Joseph @Paradox that's why I use a #Trackpoint: I can scroll everywhere without any issues...

@Joseph @Paradox we,, I get the same with the #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint:

I just press the middle mouse button on it and slightly move the pointer downwards...

This allows for even more comfortable and faster scrolling than an #MXmaster with the "infinite scrolling wheel" at fastest schrolling speed...

I really want to see a 100% #Keyboard by #TEX with an #UltraNav - Style #Trackpoint...

@mntmn what I'm missing is an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint...

Cuz that'll be a killer!

@MegaMichelle You're most welcome. I hope you enjoy the stories and share them with other #TrackPoint and #ThinkPad fans. These three people have such great stories to be heard.

Remember, the #TrackPoint cap is a consumable item and like tires for your car, should be replaced when worn to keep your Lenovo #ThinkPad working at its best.

How do people live with computer trackpads? The whole time I type, my mouse cursor is running around the screen clicking on random stuff, moving my typing cursor around, highlighting text.

Trackpoint 4 Ever.

@amelia @fuchsiii That being said ,#Lenovo did axe the #ThinkPad Compact Keyboard with #UltraNav (USB) , I need another good #trackpoint keyboard anyway...

@fuchsiii Is it too much to ask to get a real, 100% board with an #UltraNav - style #TrackPoint.

In fact, if @frameworkcomputer were to make that as an accessory, I'd go full #ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney on them!

@chiefgyk3d @arek @Raspberry_Pi @PINE64 @ctrlpew personally I'd choose a CR-10 S5 Plus due to the need for massive print volume for projects like the #NUCbook & #ITXbook or some #BigChungus 100% 122-key #keyboard with #Trackpoint.

Every once in a while, I give the old #trackpoint on my #thinkpad a go. I want to say clearly that I appreciate and applaud that many folks adore it. I'm not bashing it.

But it hurts my finger and feels about as precise as a thermonuclear bomb. So while I (genuinely) appreciate the affection people have for it, y'all, I don't get it.

Dr. Ted Selker is the extraordinary mind behind #TrackPoint and several other technologies. I'm honoured to have had the opportunity to sit down and discuss various topics with him. Come learn more!

Please share the video and let me know if you have any questions or topics that could be covered in a future interview.

@jesse damn...

Cuz since #Lenovo canceled the production of the KU-1255 aka. "ThinkPad Compact Keyboard with UltraNav (USB) I'm looking for a replacement.

And to this day I only found other vintage #TrackPoint stuff like the #ModelM13...
