I got used to a trackpoint. It reduces moves away from standard palm n finger position. Thinkpad notebooks have quite good ones, Thinkpad usb keyboards are worse. There is also EnduraPro mechanical keyboard but the trackpoint is reportedly bad.

- drewg123 8y agoI was going to post something similar. Thank you for saying this. I'll add that my recent laptop history was a series of thinkpads running linux, and most recently a newish MBP. The MBP reminds me how much I hate trackpads. I miss being able to click and drag w/o figuring out a shortcut. I miss not having the cursor shoot off into lala land when I accidentally drag the heel of my hand across the trackpad. I miss not having to move my fingers from the home row in order to move the cursor. My next laptop will have a trackpoint.
