For those of us who find the Trackpoint handy sometimes, Lenovo sells a standalone wireless keyboard based on their Thinkpad keyboards with a Trackpoint and three buttons. It works via Bluetooth, RF dongle or wired USB and has a switch for PC and Android compatibility.
Like many on HN, I'm keyboard-obsessive, preferring customized split mechanical keybs for desktop daily driving. But I have a few of these Thinkpad wireless keyboards too because they're small, portable and, with the Trackpoint, ideal for places a larger keyboard and mouse won't fit or isn't always needed. I keep one in our home theater, tucked in my lounger's armrest for when I need to enter an app account/password into an Android TV streaming box or game console (it's insane that most streaming apps still don't receive input from the device's system-wide voice typing).
I keep another one in our arcade room where there's a custom arcade cabinet for emulation with a PC inside. With all the arcade controls on the cabinet, there's not much room to put a keyboard when I need to install a new emulator or tweak something. Next to that I have a virtual pinball cabinet with another PC inside. The Thinkpad wireless is great for configuring stuff without opening the cabinets, messing with wires or a separate mouse. It's small, thin and light but has a full standard PC layout with Ctrl, Alt, Win, Esc and direct function keys yet doesn't feel awful like so many portable mini-keyboards. It also has auto-off, holds a charge for a long time, stores the USB RF dongle internally and falls back to wired so it always works.
