Making a m13 useful again
« on: Mon, 26 December 2016, 14:20:42 »
I just recently received a m13 from a friend, and even though it is the more modern trackpoint II version it is absolutely unusable on a larger resolution display. any one have any software for making the trackpoint on these old boards more useful today?

Any ultranav drivers it supports? That typically is what will make a trackpoint bearable on anything. Also, if it is just too strenous to use, try a soft dome style trackpoint cap.

Not too strenuous to use, but it uses an old trackpoint design which was meant for smaller resolution displays, and is just too slow to be useful.

Does your OS support mouse pointer acceleration?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
