It's a shame that trackpoints never caught on outside of the thinkpad crowd. I rarely see them get used for custom keyboards, even though they are IMO the perfect fit for a use case like this.

The Datahand-inspired Svalboard provides up to two trackpoints for those who are open to something radical: https://svalboard.com/

Also available with up to two trackballs or touchpads.

The UHK80 has a trackpoint module that works great!

Thank you so much you might’ve saved my life. I‘ve been having issues with my pinkies for a while now, but I couldn’t leave trackpoint.

Will try this out, if its still possible to buy

[jwpapi]

One question, is it weird when the trackpoint is used with the thumb instead of the pointing finger?

Beyond the UHK keyboards there are others with trackpoints

TEX had a whole line https://tex.com.tw/products/shura

The classic Happy Hackers Keyboard has one. https://hhkeyboard.us/hhkb-studio/product

And Lenovo itself offers several usb keyboards with TrackPoint https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F3U4TQS

I've had two of those Lenovo keyboards, beware the USB connector gets damaged ridiculously easily.

I wonder whether the modern ThinkPad enthusiasts are actually only TrackPoint enthusiasts.

(Previously, the keyboard, durability, and repairability were also ThinkPad selling points for enthusiasts.)

[genter]

Yes. Although the keyboard is decent, until you get a grain of salt under a key.

The durability is mediocre, and repairability is only better than an iPhone.

Yes, I'd love more custom keyboards with a trackpoints. There are the Tex ones, but that's pretty much it. And there are many layouts these days that would easily allow for one to fit and still be able to use keycap sets that don't need to have specialized keys carved out of them like the Tex boards. Every time I see an Alice layout I just dream about a nubbin stuck in the open space between the G and the H.
