IBM trackpoint Mouse - Nub? Trackpoint? Thing
« on: Wed, 04 April 2018, 15:12:20 »
Has anyone ever made or knows of a TrackPoint mouse,
One that is either still in production or one that can be built,
If you dont know what I am talking about this thing:


I would like to be able to build one that is a seproate small mouse,
or mabey encorproate one in a build (I know of the Tex Yoda)

I have some ruff scetches (note did this in about 5 minutes)


Thanks,

A standalone clit mouse?
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48
