Agreed. Though 'not precise' is a common complaint from people who haven't overcome the learning curve.
My partner hated using my x61, complaining that it was hard to hit anything accurately. Her laptop had a failed battery and she needed to borrow mine for a few days... a week later she replaced hers with an x61 and some 15 years later has only used a thinkpad, specifically because of the trackpoint.
- INTPenis 2y agoLol you're crazy. Learning curve for something that is built into your keyboard, that once it breaks you have to replace the keyboard for. While I have a regular BT travel mouse that requires NO learning curve and can easily be replaced by any other mouse.
- nullc 2y agoI've almost always found keys on the keyboards to fail before the trackpoint. The one exception I've had is a bluetooth trackpoint keyboard that someone sat on. Go check out videos of new computers users from the 90s, mice absolutely have a learning curve. (I say from the 90s because today many people likely grew up with them). Sure you already know the mouse, so good for you. As a comfortable user of both trackpoint and mice, I'd rather use the trackpoint for almost all uses. The few things I'd prefer a mouse to trackpoint I'd also prefer something else to the mouse (e.g. 3d orientation I prefer use a spaceball like device to mouse, and for drawing I'd prefer a stylus to mouse).
