Vry true, it's primarily b/c the stick concentrates on less nerves on your finger, resulting in increased pressure.Quote:

I actually prefer the pointing stick in the keyboard. I've been scouring the earth to find a desktop keyboard that has a pointing stick in it. Moving my arm from keyboard to mouse takes too much time and is part of the reason for which I have cubital tunnel.
I guess that with my previous searches I wasn't calling the pointing stick by the correct name as I found some IBM desktop keyboards that have the pointing stick. It's too bad that they don't make the keyboards ergonomic by splitting them, though.
im a fan of the pointing stick. my laptop has a touchpad and i hate using it for extended periods of time. it feels like it gets hotter by the minute. the only thing i like about touchpads is the ability to tap your finger to simulate a mouse click. its biggest con is i hate having to pick my hand up to move the mouse across the screen.
You can do that with most sticks, too, if it's turned on in the drivers.Quote:
