[Frank Adams] liked the keyboard on his Lenovo ThinkPad T61 so much that he decided to design an adapter so he could use it over USB with the Teensy microcontroller. He got the Trackpoint working ...

Lenovo’s chief design officer David Hill described the TrackPoint as a way for a user to access a pointing device without the need for the user’s hands to leave the keyboard’s home row.

This is the story of one person’s desire to have the venerable trackpoint in their new keyboard. [Klapse] loves a Lenovo old-style non-chicklet keyboard, so, despite the cost, five were ordered.

Rest in peace, Trackpoint ... Lenovo is using an OLED display across both the 14-inch and 15-inch model, and both use a haptic touchpad along with the well-known (and loved) ThinkPad keyboard.
