The idea of a trackpoint on my desktop keyboard is what led me to pull the trigger on one of these: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/

I'm pretty excited to get my hands on my Raise [1], although it is taking longer than expected which I guess is par for the course with Kickstarter.

Nice recommendation. For those who want to see it, watch the video at https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/ and at 0:55 you can see the TrackPoint modular add-on.

edit: lol, or just scroll down, it is on the main page.

The ultimate iteration of this will include programmable OLED keys.

Also noteworthy is many UHK components, from the firmware to the electronics, are open-source: https://github.com/UltimateHackingKeyboard

As someone who debugs programs often, and renames files with f2, I like f-keys. It looks like a great keyboard, aside from the lack of f-keys.

I'm on a 56 key split right now but I used to use a 48, which had only F2 (of all the F keys) on any layer because it's used for jumping in Sublime Text or Atom or something. Layers vs dedicated keys becomes a matter of preference over chording vs hand movement; some people prefer one to the other.

I don't have a UHK but I have an Ergodox EZ which uses a layer system, similar to the UHK. I have mine setup to where I basically press a Fn key and the number row turns in to F-keys (with a few more to account for F10-F12). It's actually really nice once you get used to it.
