>I can definitely see how the trackpoint could be more accurate, but my experience is that the workflow is MUCH slower. Thinkpad trackpoints have a third button, which is good for middle click for me (as well as great scrolling). Touchpads require me to adjust my hand to button+tap or something equally awkward. That's much slower. Plus, your hands never leave the keyboard with a trackpoint. >As basically a joystick device, you must wait for the pointer to move to the desired location In my experience, this is no slower than mouse movement. > One could compensate for this by pushing harder, but this results in overshoot of the intended target, which requires compensating with slow, precise reversal movement. I don't have trouble with fast, precise movement with a trackpoint. > How do you trackpoint users manage to get around this? I really have to turn this around and ask, how do non-mac touchpad users manage to endure the crap they use? I found them far inferior to mice and trackpads for years.
