Trackpoint is a meme but boy do I love the physical trackpad keys.

I use the nipple for scrolling. I'm a boomer and touch gestures scare me.

a normal trackpad works just fine

We had one of these when I was a kid. Fun if you're a retarded and pretend the mouse cursor is a spaceship.

they should release the version 3 already. Been using the bluetooth one with phone tablet even with bios on some machines. i think since t14 2023? they swapped the fn and ctrl key on bottom left, next version should swap it too

trackpads are retarded, why would i want to lift my hands off my keyboard to move my mouse? i wish my desktop keyboard had a trackpoint but all the options are either insanely expensive or feel awful

There's like 1% accuracy on that one idk how people do it. I struggled getting used to a touchpad while gaming and i spent years trying.

A normal trackpad forced you to position your hands awkwardly on the palm rest lest you accidentally move the mouse, especially in 2025 with gigantic touch pads and touch = click behaviour
The trackpoint sucks as a mouse, but it lets you disable the touchpad and use the palm rest as intended

laptops are designed to be inferior to pcs, you're basically eating shit when using one. trackpoints are merely a part of a bigger problem

A trackpoint is more accurate than a trackpad, and far more comfortable to use.

That's like saying a controller has more accurate aiming than a mouse.

trackpad/mouse: Move the hand to the destination. This is a 1 to 1 mapping and you can do this instantly if you want.

controller/trackpoint: You can't just input the destination. Instead, you need to think "in which direction is the destination?" and input the angle. This angle won't be accurate. The movement is also not instant. So next question is "how fast do I want to move the cursor?". So on top of the direction, you input a move speed. Then you need to think "for how long do I need to input this?" the answer is: You need to divide the distance by the entered speed, and then the result is for example "need to hold it for 350 milliseconds". This shit is never accurate, that's why controllers have aim assist in games, while mouse and trackpad do not.

I own a thinkpad i found in a trashcan, the red nipple is useless and is just there for aesthetic

The clitmouse is the only way to scroll comfortably on wayland because it has no kinetic scrolling last I checked

Not when it has to recalibrate for 3-5 seconds after every move

I fell for the trackpoint meme and it's a quick way to rekt your finger joints. I don't recommend it.
