J'essaye un peu de me remettre à la souris plutôt qu'au #trackpoint, et même ça c'est pénible.
Pourquoi avoir à bouger une main si loin du clavier pour aller chercher des trucs au pointeur ? 😱
#TrackPoint
@kobilacroix @katja sadly I got no resources to DIY something like a #Trackpoint #Mouse myself...
@kobilacroix @katja and yes, the #TrackPoint is so awesome, #Dell & #hp also got one...
- So if you can, give it a try...
@kobilacroix @katja I use a #ThinkPad-style #Trackpoint integrated in the 65% #Keyboard but since #Lenovo #enshittified that, #TEX is selling good alternatives...
- You could OFC source the mechanism from #Sprintek and use it as a #USB mouse or DIY something similar to the #Razer #Orbweaver with a #Keypad.
And yes, I'm mad the KU-1255 was discontinued for a 3x expensive version just so Lenovo doesn't have to offer a wired version and a bluetooth version.
- But the efficiency gains of using a Trackpoint are measureable
If you can, try a trackpoint espechally when you're more typing than mousing...
@mjdxp yeah - my #BigChungus misses a #TrackPoint, and I'll certainly need one too as I literally can't work without an #UltraNav-Style setup anymore!
- Granted "The Message" is that one's not forced to cram shit on a tiny desk but can afford a 100% Keyboard and mouse next to it!
you can pry the nipple from my #keyboard with my cold dead hands
@arichtman @discontinued people still #mod the shit out of #iPod|s to this day...
Personally, I want some device like that again...
Maybe make it the #ThinkPod with a #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint instead and out of #Thinkpadnium or #Nokiante plastic, coz #ThinkPad and #Nokia are the most durable materials once known!

The new #keyboard works flawlessly, despite not being an OEM part.
As a bonus, the #trackpoint feels much snappier now.
Hopefully this machine will serve me at least another five years!
@radmin @tera @critakitty yeah, @frameworkcomputer refusing to make a #TrackPoint keyboard is kinda sad.
- Cuz it's not as if they can't make a call at #Sprintek and maybe even get a custom-coloured rubber cap just to avoid #Lenovo claiming they violate the #UltraNav design / trademark.
Not to mention this isn't unique to even #ThinkPad or #hp #ProBook or #Dell #Latitude & #Getac devices, but even #Sony (#Vaio #P11Z) and #GPD did so...
- I hope they at least got a holder-hole and lanyard loop option for the #Stylus like the #X230Tablet has...
The only things @frameworkcomputer could do better on the #Framework13 would be a toolfree-swappable battery (not feasible with current case design) and #Trackpoint-#Keyboard combo and mere 3 buttons instead of #Touchpad (totally feasible)...
- Cuz I need an #UltraNav-style Trackpoint and can't bear a Touchpad!
Ok, I'm sitting here on a laptop (#Thinkpad) that has both, and I must say...
trackpad > trackpoint
I gladly submit myself to the #trackpoint spanish inquisition.
pcworld.com mentioned one of my many conversations with David Hill in a recent article about the #ThinkPad #TrackPoint. It's very cool to see these stories get around. I remain optimistic about the future of the TrackPoint.

Wir beginnen 2025 mit einem #38c3-Special! In 2 Interviews berichten @1peter10, Rik und @eloy von ihren kuriosen ThinkPads. Neben dem ARM-X13s sprechen wir auch über das seltene PowerPC 860 sowie das TransNote und ein außergewöhnliches T61-Frankenpad.
#Lenovo hat auf der #CES2025 in Las Vegas neue Geräte vorgestellt: neben einem ARM-ThinkCentre auch das ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition. Dieses kommt ohne #TrackPoint und sorgt für hitzige Diskussionen im Internet.
Lenovo ThinkPad X9 is a slim, lightweight laptop that… doesn’t look like a ThinkPad
The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition and Lenovo ThinkPad 15 Aura Edition are laptops with up to a 2.8K OLED 120 Hz touchscreen display, up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 Lunar Lake processor, and compact designs: both models are about 0.7 inches thick and the 15 inch model weighs just 3.2 pounds while the 14 inch version is just 2.7 pounds.
But the thing that really makes these laptops […]

It is no longer a rumor. The #Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is real, will cost $3500, and I hate it. I also hate the fact that it has been proven true that Lenovo has dropped the legendary #TrackPoint input device. Maybe hate is too strong a word. Let’s go with “I’m done with Lenovo”. #WeirdCES #CES2025 #Tech https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/7/24337633/lenovo-thinkbook-plus-gen-6-rollable-laptop-flexible-oled-price-specs

the @PINE64 pinebook looks really cool
(ok, I don't need a new laptop right now, but in general)
But, as long as it doesn't have a trackpoint like the ThinkPads have, I guess I will never get one

Lenovo ThinkPad X9 leak points to a missing TrackPoint
One of the key differences between Lenovo’s ThinkPad-branded laptops and… pretty much every other laptop on the market these days (including most Lenovo models) is that in addition to a touchpad below the keyboard, ThinkPads feature Lenovo’s TrackPoint system with a small pointing stick in the center of the keyboard.
But leaked pictures of a new Lenovo ThinkPad X9 laptop show what […]
