This is the best keyboard out there for a coder. trackpoint to

If you have a trackpoint for easy mouse movement why do Vim / emacs go full autist when it comes to key bindings to move cursors and lines and such?

"You CCCOOOULLLLLLDDDDDDDDD use the mouse or arrow keys I guess, but instead is C - x - C - m - c - n "

I think they do sell the old style, but it's pretty expensive IPO.

>>58701994
Remove IPO

>>58701994
I can just buy an old thinkpad with a busted screen on craigslist. Rip off the screen and install vnc if I had to. $500 is ridiculous

The point is that the transition from using the keyboard to using the mouse is effortless and doesn't take your fingers away from home row. I use the keyboard in the OP at my work. Trackpoint is good stuff.

it does.
40 were made with the thinkpad logo and the black backplate.
The one I'm using to write right now doesn't have the logo but it's the same keyboard.

It's made by tex electronics, the owners have been saying it's going to be on massdrop soon for months but they keep extending when it will be available. Search for tex on /r/mechanicalkeyboards if you want more information.

100 and something for all the parts and 200 plus for the assembled one. Totally worth it.

>not having a TrackPoint and trackpad

>>58702421
my point exactly, the nipple as pointing device and the trackpad configured as fullsized scrolling device is the superior configuration

Cherry switches too noisy
Scissor switches too shallow
Buckling springs too rare
No TKL rubber dome
There is no keyboard in the world for me

>>58703548
get cherry mx brown with o-rings
pretty quiet desu

>>58703570
Releasing any and all cherry switches is much noisier than bottoming out

>>58703577
Same problem with those Topre keys in that CM keyboard
Only switches quiet enough for me are those Matias Quiet ones. But they are 35g or something like that and get super shitty reviews.

>>58703548
lurk moar you fucking retard

>>58703548
>buckling springs too rare
Since when is something readily available for purchase rare?

cool. this must be the only keyboard in the entire world with less keys than the cucked lenovo 6-row keyboard layout.

>>58703612
I can't find a TKL buckling spring keyboard with blanks or nordic. So yeah

>>58701924
why are these almost as expensive as a whole thinkpad?
is it really so hard to build an adapter from the keyboard->laptop connector to USB/PS2?

seriously some of these ultranav keyboards are in the 100$+ segment while a thinkpad keyboard costs like 30~ bucks

I have this and I pretty much never use the trackpoint. Everything is more convenient with a mouse even though I have to move my hand farther.

>>58703675
I dunno, I bought mine new for like $40.

>>58701924
I thought QWERTY was designed to be a piece of shit. Aren't there keyboard layouts designed for coders?

how the FLYING FUCK am I supposed to use acme with only 2 mouse buttons?

also, we're called "coders" now? kek
