The ThinkPad mouse nub — i.e., the TrackPoint — is a controversial piece of technology. People tend to either despise the red dot-shaped substitute for a real mouse, or adore it as the single best mouse solution around. For those in the second camp is Lenovo’s new $99 ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II, an updated version of its old wireless keyboard that lets you use that good TrackPoint nub UI with your desktop computer.<\/p>\n
The TrackPoint II — which was announced at CES, but goes on sale today — is pretty similar to the old ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint model, albeit with a new design that’s based on the more modern ThinkPad X1’s keyboard design and layout.<\/p>\n
Unlike the old model, though, the TrackPoint II only offers wireless connectivity, either through Bluetooth or an included USB dongle (although it supports both Windows and Android). The trade-off for wired connectivity is a switch over to USB-C for charging, instead of Micro USB, which seems like a worthwhile swap.<\/p>\n
The ThinkPad TrackPoint II is available today from Lenovo’s online store.<\/p>\n
