Offtopic, but I've always been curious: do people really find trackpoint style mice even remotely usable? Presumably so, since Lenovo still includes them, but personal experience makes this baffling.
Edit: thanks for the responses. I can definitely see how the trackpoint could be more accurate, but my experience is that the workflow is MUCH slower. As basically a joystick device, you must wait for the pointer to move to the desired location. One could compensate for this by pushing harder, but this results in overshoot of the intended target, which requires compensating with slow, precise reversal movement. The whole process is just very, very tedious in my experience using them. That's what I meant, specifically. How do you trackpoint users manage to get around this?
