For those that want a trackpoint with mechanical keys and don't want to DIY it, I highly recommend a Tex Shinobi which has the SK-8855 Thinkpad keyboard layout

I have had mine for a couple years now and I love it so much that I bought a second one as a spare.
- fooker 4y agoCan you press on the trackpoint for a click?
- jdoss 4y agoNo, the mouse controls are on the three buttons below the space bar.
- boomskats 4y agoI own a Yoda, a Kodachi and as of a few weeks ago, a Shinobi. I can't recommend Justin & the guys at TEX enough.
- smoldesu 4y ago+1 for this. Recently picked my Shinobi up a few months ago, and I'm also thinking about picking up a spare now too. It's an expensive keyboard, but worth every penny once you get it in your hands. The trackpoint is more precise than any of the laptop ones, and horizontal/vertical scrolling is supported on every OS. Pretty much my endgame keyboard, besides maybe a detachable numpad?
- dannyobrien 4y agoI can vouch for TEX and the Shinobi in particular. I'm pretty sure it's my endgame keyboard after a few years of experimenting with others. Plus Justin and his team are very responsive.
