Hey all!
In the spirit of ThinkPad’s (and TrackPoint II’s) 30th anniversary, I’ve just revamped my list of TrackPoint, pointing stick, and UltraNav keyboards to include some more keyboards, more details, and some better photos! This page has been on my site for a while so previous readers may have already heard about it, intended to be a place you can find out about all known first-party TrackPoint or similar technology keyboards as quickly and easily as possible. Also included is a series of symbols that visually indicate the most important features of the keyboard and a brief comparison of the different pointing stick technologies these keyboards may use.
Any feedback is appreciated as well as any suggestions for keyboards I may have missed. Although please note I’m not including tablet keyboards with unusual (ie, not Type A USB, PS/2 or Bluetooth) connections, infrared-based keyboards like the SK-8807 or TEX keyboards at this time (this may change though).
Enjoy!
