Call me when they make a thinkpad-like trackpoint


For trackpoint fans Lenovo makes a classic Thinkpad keyboard as a standalone rechargeable wireless keyboard. It works with Bluetooth, it's own USB wireless dongle or even wired USB. Has a switch for Windows or Android/Linux key mapping. I have one and like it (although it's pricey at around $100).

This keyboard is one of the staples of my desk. Saying this as someone who also dabbles in all of the exotic stuff. Sometimes you need a reliable, small, and convenient keyboard - that's where these tiny Lenovo trackpoint keyboards fit in every time.


Yep, I have two and am always moving them around between various rooms at home where I only occasionally need a keyboard/mouse. Home theater: setting up a new media streaming stick, Arcade room: tweaking the settings on the PCs in my arcade or virtual pinball cabinet, IT closet: adjusting some pre-boot setting on a Raspberry Pi. It's really perfect because it's small, complete (keyboard and mouse in one device/port), flexible (USB, Bluetooth, RF Dongle) and actually has a good keybed (unlike most small portables). I also like that its auto-shutoff works well, meaning it's usually charged even if I haven't used it in a month.

When I say "There's nothing I don't like about it", it's actually pretty high praise because I'm finicky, demanding and notice the details in stuff I use.


This [0] is pretty close. IBM made a version of the Model M with Trackpoint but those are rare. Lenovo also sells [1] a keyboard that's basically a Thinkpad keyboard with trackpoint in a separate chassis.

Some great options have been mentioned already.

Another interesting option is the HHKB Studio keyboard. https://hhkeyboard.us/hhkb-studio/product

HolyKeebs also has TrackPoint modules available for some exotic ergo split keyboards: https://holykeebs.com/

A very exotic option is the Svalboard, which is available with both trackball and trackpoint configurations: https://svalboard.com/


Unicomp, which inherited the IBM Model M tooling, still makes a keyboard with a trackpoint: https://www.pckeyboard.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Cate...


I love that keyboard, but I wish they'd increase the TrackPoint cut out for the GHB keys more. It's not the easiest when attempting to move the cursor to the top-left, top-right, and bottom areas of the screen.


Reminds me, I need to fix my T480's screen. I have the part but I'm lazy.


best snake experience since 3210


body { background: url('screenshot.png') no-repeat; background-size: 1791px 1000px; background-color: #000; position: relative; }

is this a joke?


Please read the blog post!


I have, and I couldn't believe what it was saying and had to go see the code to verify. I'm really struggling to believe that anyone would consider this a "coding success".


Yeah, same. I thought it was saying it reproduced only the background due to not being able to figure out an offset due to a sloppy initial screenshot or something. Then I was wondering why all the link images looked fuzzy and tried to inspect them and also wondered why the links didn't line up with the buttons either with dev tools open.

On the plus side, it does somewhat explain the weird patterns in his diff image which I had been puzzling over.


> I'm really struggling to believe that anyone would consider this a "coding success".

The index_tiled.html version later in the article is what justifies the success claim IMO, and is the version I think it would've made more sense to host.

The currently hosted index.html just feels like a consequence of the author taking a scaled/compressed screenshot and asking Claude to produce an exact match.

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!


It's not "computing" if it's not Turing complete


yes sir!

oops, is that not inclusive enough? I would like to rephrase then:

yes person!


Here's a good starting point for understanding what's going on:
