>and a trackpoint

You know, I keep hearing people beg for a trackpoint, but if there really was the demand, why hasn't a third party made one already? That's the whole point of Framework, if you want to extend functionality, you can do it yourself without relying on the company to do it.

You know, this is going to sound outrageous to many hacker news readers, but I bought a little Asus Vivo book with a touch screen.. and I really like the touch screen. The trackpad sucks. My hands stay on the keyboard most of the time, but when I need to click on something, it feels really good to just reach up and touch it on the screen.

Now admittedly, I don't use this thing for real work, just messing around when traveling, but a touch screen really is much better than a track pad.

Like quite a few user upgradeable parts of the Framework, the amount of space you have to do something significantly different to what Framework have done is very limited. I do expect that eventually there'll be some sort of trackpoint solution, but my understanding is that there is not a lot of height available for the keyboard, and currently all the good trackpoint options are too tall.
