The pointer stick is a really great thing to have assuming it works well. That said, my muscle memory would be decimated by the lack of a middle button. On Thinkpads, holding this makes the pointer stick scroll, making it a lot more useful than if it only middle clicked.
- aidenn0 4y agoThe pointer stick on my HP isn't as good as the one on a thinkpad, but it's "okay." Of course my HP has a middle-button so the lack of that here is mind boggling to me.
- scrlk 4y agoDo you have a ZBook? Those have always had the middle mouse button (probably for people who use CAD etc). EliteBook trackpoints never had a middle button.
- HenryMulligan 4y ago"EliteBook trackpoints never had a middle button." That is not correct. My old HP EliteBook 8560W had not one but two sets of three mouse buttons.

- scrlk 4y agoI should have been clearer. HP's mainstream business laptops never had the middle mouse button whilst their workstation laptops (such as your 8560W) have always had them.
- HenryMulligan 4y agoOkay, fair. Thank you for clarifying.
