- zem 8mo agointeresting, I had to stop using my trackpoint because it was giving me rsi in my index finger. the track pad hasn't given me any issues.
- BoneShard 8mo agoSame here, had to stop using the trackpoint (after maybe 10-15 years of heavy usage). And macbook trackpads are awesome.
- MetaWhirledPeas 8mo agoIt's all about not doing the same thing, whatever that same thing may be. I switch between trackball and mouse as each one gets a bit uncomfortable.
- zem 8mo agoI'm also convinced that trackpoints themselves are stiffer and less comfortable to use than they used to be in the older thinkpads
- ohhnoodont 8mo agoSame. I used to be ride-or-die for my Thinkpad Trackpoint™ keyboards, I even had an external USB one. Eventually I started to feel the RSI in the top of my hand. Haven't had any issues with a Macbook trackpad.
- BunsanSpace 8mo agoEver since the T450 the trackpoint has been awful. Can't replace the nob anymore either, as the convex knob was arguably the best
- doubled112 8mo agoWhat do you mean when you say you can't replace the knob? It comes off on my T14s Gen 1 and the T14s Gen 5 that replaced it.
- acchow 8mo agoI had the opposite issue. Trackpoints stated hurting my hand because it requires significantly more force than the Mac's touchpad.
