Add a long time thinkpad user and someone who has a mech keyboard (unicomp) with a trackpoint, I thought these would be common place... Still waiting for a trackpoint but I have a nice big CST trackball between my split keyboard until then...
- petepete 6y agoThe only mech keyboard with a proper trackpoint (afaik) is the Tex Yoda. https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=515 https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_lis...
- snapplefish 6y agoTrackpoint modules are harvestable from Thinkpad keyboards, and are well-supported in QMK (the most prolific keyboard firmware). I've used them a lot on custom splits, and they work quite well.
- __mharrison__ 6y agoDo you have any links?
- beyon 6y agoAre they well supported in both AVR and ARM/chibios versions of QMK? Are there any differences in how they work on a thinkpad and with QMK? On my old thinkpad the cursor would sometimes start drifting and you have to release the trackpoint for it to settle - is that something that is handled by the firmware or inside the trackpoint module? Asking as someone who plans to build a custom keyboard (preferably with arm mcu) and have a trackpoint module waiting with the pinout figured out.
