Anyone on a external Thinkpad Trackpoint keyboard II on Linux has a way of seeing the battery power via Blueetoth ? (The cable now is only for loading...)

Same for Bluetooth headphones...?
Thx

The first two marketable sticks were the #Lexmark force-sensing resistor stick (US5467108A, 1st image) and #IBM #TrackPoint II strain gauge stick (US5489900A, 2nd), implementing it using the sensor techs in their respective names! (Note that both patents were filed after they were released.)

Happy birthday, #TrackPoint! 35 years ago today, #IBM filed the original pointing stick patent (US5521596A), the work of Edwin J. "Ted" Selker and Joseph D. Rutledge. It will then-soon evolve into the staple feature of #ThinkPad! sharktastica.co.uk/topics/keybo...

The original #IBM #TrackPoint design patent turns 35 today! It's not the #ThinkPad "nipple", "nub", etc. you may be expecting, but a mouse for the IBM PS/2 L40 SX laptop that can function as a trackball or a ball mouse depending on what side you use it!

My bluetooth keyboard with a trackpoint fully works with android 🤯

There's even a little mouse pointer with right click operations and hotkeys. This is not using Samsung's Dex either!

Keyboard Patents A gallery list of patents relating to IBM and family keyboard, typewriter and keypunch technology

New page dropped! I created this as a new sources database for future research and articles, but it doubles as a very nice gallery! Besides keyboards, there are also relevant IBM mainframe, #Selectric, #ThinkPad and #TrackPoint patents as well. sharktastica.co.uk/topics/patents

I worked at #CompUSA for a while selling computers. The #IBM #Thinkpad was always popular (though out of budget) for buyers. The #Trackpoint was controversial (personally I loved them but there were many who didn't). I never sold the 701 with the expanding keyboard however. #1995

An ode to Lenovo's TrackPoint, the little red nub with a storied history Will Lenovo eventually phase out the iconic TrackPoint nub? Only time will tell.

@pcworld.com mentioned one of my many conversations with David Hill in a recent article about the #ThinkPad #TrackPoint. It's very cool to see these stories get around. I remain optimistic about the future of the TrackPoint.

Lenovo ThinkPad X9 leak points to a missing TrackPoint One of the key differences between Lenovo's ThinkPad-branded laptops and... pretty much every other laptop on the market these days (including most Lenovo models) is that in addition to a touchpad below the keyboard, ThinkPads feature Lenovo's TrackPoint system with a small pointing stick in the center of the keyboard. But leaked pictures of a new Lenovo ThinkPad X9 laptop show what appears to be a thin and light ThinkPad-branded notebook, a large touchpad, and no TrackPoint.

@fedora Also, seriously consider getting a #laptop from @frameworkcomputer . There's no #trackpoint unfortunately, but the day will hopefully come when that is an option and many of you ThinkPad users don't use it anyway.
