I'm currently held back from going into the mechanical keyboard world because I'm hooked on the thinkpad trackpoint stick and mouse buttons below the spacebar - I've got a thinkpad and two usb keyboards with the dot and mouse buttons, and I use them on every computer I touch. Are there mechanical keyboards with built in mouse functionality?
- criddell 7y agoIf you are able to make a mechanical keyboard (like the person in the linked story is), couldn't you include a trackpoint and buttons?
- Symbiote 7y agoYes, here's an example with a build guide: https://github.com/alonswartz/trackpoint/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/alonswartz/trackpoint/blob/master/README....
- stamps 7y agohttps://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/ https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/ Mechanical and split ergonomics. Has built in Mouse capability using the keys. They’re also working on attachable touchpad, trackball, and trackpoint (just like a thinkpad).
- ranger207 7y agoThe Unicomp EnduraPro is a Model M with a trackpoint. Unicomp bought the design, and IIRC the molds, for the Model M from IBM and/or Lenovo when they got rid of them. https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/EnduraPro https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/EnduraPro
- projektfu 7y agoA word of warning - I haven't found the trackpoint on it to be useful like it was on a thinkpad. It's too jumpy at short distances and too slow at long distances. I've since started using a Logitech M570 instead, as it reminds me of the trackball I used to like before I had a Thinkpad.
