Talk:Pointing stick - Wikipedia
To fill out this checklist, please add the following code to the template call:. To my dismay, the TrackPoint is by far what I think to be the best pointing device ever. Plus it saves space on the keyboard. I was looking for this kind of pointer to appear on ultra-slick laptops, but after reading this article I guess that there is only little hope it can happen. Now I wonder if this technology is disappearing because it was patented and nobody wants to pay royalties, or if ergonomists concluded that the touchpad is more convenient. Shouldn't we start a section called "trackpoint in other languages", a la " in other languages"?
Lenovo’s 25th anniversary ThinkPad is here
A pointing stick also referred to generically as a nub or nipple is a small joystick used as a pointing device typically mounted centrally in a computer keyboard. Like other pointing devices such as mice , touchpads or trackballs , operating system software translates manipulation of the device into movements of the pointer or cursor on the monitor. Unlike other pointing devices, it reacts to sustained force or strain rather than to gross movement, so it is called an "isometric" [1] pointing device.
That ThinkPad is now real. Check out the ThinkPad 25, sold to commemorate 25 years of ThinkPads. Myself though I would love a thinkpad with only the touchpad. It would be ideal if you could order one with one or the other, not both at the same time.
