Does anyone know if there are any portable bluetooth keyboards (think usable in the train) with a trackpoint? The only ones I can find have a trackpad, but I think a trackpoint would actually be a lot nicer.
I'm writing this message on that keyboard and I don't really recommend it. It's a literal copy of the modern ThinkPad laptop keyboards, only a little worse.
It's mushy for a proper desktop keyboard, the TrackPoint is too flat and requires a lot of force to use (just like in the recent laptops) and worst of all, dust, crumbs and dirt easily get under the keys and make them not register unless you press hard.
I have one of these in usage as an entertainment center PC keyboard, as an alternative to the media PC keyboard with godawful integrated trackpads or extra coffee table clutter of a mouse.
It’s solid. Not quite to my taste for primary keyboard usage but not bad.
Isn’t this keyboard exactly that? It has Bluetooth and isn’t any wider than your laptop already is. If it’s too thick due to the mechanical switches, the ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II might be an option.
You can make any USB keyboard a BT keyboard with a USB2BT (from Japan) and a battery. If it has LEDs you might have to disable or dim those (I had to enable tachyon mode on my keyboard).
It's pretty close to full size, but very slim and light weight.
