I could actually see myself using this, if it is reasonably precise. A lot of the software that I use is GUI-only, and I really don't like taking my hands off of the keyboard to reach my mouse.
Not really. The very first computer I used growing up (~2005 dell inspiron) had one but I could barely use a keyboard at that point. Haven't had access to one since. Do you use one? If so, do you think getting a standalone keyboard with a trackpoint is worth it for someone in my situation?
