Why doesn't every keyboard have one of these? It's much better than a trackpad

>cheaper
That's the whole reason right there. It's cheaper to convince retards that the bad option is better and just push this crap. You can even charge premium for what was the standard option (and the cheaper option is not cheaper for the final consumer).

Trackpads on modern laptops are great. They have many features which can't be matched

if you actually bother to learn how to use it you are so much quicker with a trackpoint and you dont have to move your hands from your keyboard to use it. most of what you do on your computer is done with your keyboard so its a lot more convinient

Just adjust the sensitivity of the trackpad which is also more accurate than the point

Normalfags. It's always normalfags. Basically every question in this format that gets posted on here can be accurately answered with "normalfags", to the point that these questions are barely worth asking.

Its only upside is being able to scroll any text editor if I don't feel like clicking scroll bar. Much less tiring than the stupid 2 finger gesture

good nubbins are a myth just like the female vagina.

I use both. The trackpoint is just a glorified mouse wheel.

>>107265822
its not quick or the most efficient for modern uses, but god is it comfy for long periods of use
