- O_H_E 4y agoYeah website is down. He never mentioned a trackpoint unfortunately. But I guess theoretically someone could design one (╯°□°）╯ ┻┻ they are releasing hardware and software interface docs on github.
- ncallaway 4y agoI don’t think so (not mentioned during the talk, so probably not), but the input system is being opened up (with both hardware specs and some their keyboard software released), so it should be possible for a third party to do that.
- davidy123 4y agoI would probably switch after decades of thinkpads (and one Mac I just didn't like) if they offered a model with AMD chip, a good keyboard, Trackpoint, and OLED display.
- brucethemoose2 4y agoOLED is a tall order, unless there happens to be an existing (tablet?) display thats just the right size for their frames.
- davidy123 4y agoHmm there are quite a few 16" OLEDs on the market these days, I assume there is a common size for '16".' I'm hoping not to upgrade for another year, so will see then.
- humanistbot 4y agoIBM's trackpoint patent expired in 2017. I have no idea why there hasn't been a custom keyboard with a trackpoint out yet. Seems like that would be the first thing hacker-types would add.
