I will agree with the suggestion that Asus laptop keyboards are decent. On |
2 |
the higher end models the keys have a surprising amount of travel. As for |
3 |
keyboards with a trackpoint, I would suggest the TEX Yoda Trackpoint and |
4 |
the Miniguru keyboards. Sadly, neither is available with any regularity |
5 |
(the second seems to have had a prototype run but is currently "in |
6 |
design"), and I believe the mouse is different from a traditional |
7 |
trackpoint by virtue of patents. |

I became very accustomed to the trackpoint on a previous laptop I had. |
10 |
Since they are so rare, I've turned to tiling window managers to remove my |
11 |
need of mouse. |
