How did you use the trackpoint?
Your fingers are not on the trackpoint when you type. The mouse pointer doesn't move when you use the keyboard.
Also, the three trackpoint buttons are right under your thumb - your hand literally doesn't have to move away from the keyboard. No touch screen necessary. That would be even worse having to move from keyboard to screen.
It really sounds like you've not used the trackpoint correctly.
But it's great that there are options and it seems you've found what works for you.
- jcul 4y agoCan I ask how are you supposed to use a trackpoint? I recently bought my first thinkpad, a second hand Gen 5 X1 carbon, and I really like it. I haven't yet invested the effort in learning to use the trackpoint. I guess you use your index finger on the trackpoint, and thumb on the mouse buttons? For scrolling it seems you hold the middle button with the thumb and then scroll with the trackpoint? Do you normally disable the trackpad?
- uxcolumbo 4y agoYes exactly. - Use your index finger for the track point - Thumb for the 3 buttons under the space bar - Middle button is to enable scroll mode You don't need to disable the track pad. I did though and it can also help to force you to learn the track point. ------ The ThinkPad TrackPoint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H8o_-7bKIU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H8o_-7bKIU
