Thanks for the gallery! I'm surprised there aren't more integrated pointing devices (like TrackPoints).


There's been some tries in that area, using basically the blackberry trackball.

I wanted to build a custom keyboard with a track point but couldn’t find any suppliers. Does anybody know of any?


There's the Tex Yoda and other Tex keyboards -- I suppose if nothing else there's buying one of those keyboards and repurposing the TrackPoint and its PCB if necessary?


Yeah the only way I've seen to do it is to rip one out of an existing keyboard sadly.
