It's definitely not as accurate as a trackpad or a mouse, but it's not to hard to get very close. The benefit of it is that it's right on home row. You don't need to move your hands to use the mouse.
On my thinkpad, I use the trackpoint and trackpad equally.
- qu4z-2 4y agoMy experience is that a mouse is most accurate, followed by a trackpoint, followed by a trackpad, but then again I rarely use trackpads. I inevitably move the mouse when I take my finger off or try to press buttons. Also if I leave it enabled, I inevitably teleport the mouse around the screen with my palms, "palm detection" or no. Sadly every non-IBM/Lenovo trackpoint I've ever used is awful (although significantly improved by putting a Thinkpad cover bit on the joystick, if you're stuck with one). That said, having played through the SC1 campaign with a trackpoint... even the best ones are not as good as a real mouse.
