How to handle notebook input devices: The pointing stick senses applied force by using two pairs of resistive strain gauges.

Check it out at: Pierre Monday 7 Feb at You are commenting using your WordPress. IBM sold a mouse with a pointing stick in the location where delll scroll wheel is common now. Additional pressure again moves the cursor, but the calibration may occur again, requiring even more force.
IBM introduced it commercially in on its laptopsunder the name "TrackPoint". For the teaching and presentation aid, see Pointer rod. You are commenting using your Twitter account. For my D, the correct Alps drivers for Win 7 bit pointin in a download file called R Even when I disabled the device the wandering interfered with input from the touchpad. How do I turn it back on? This applies to the D — if you remove the keyboard pointinf — look for youtube tutorial you will see that the ribbon cable for the keyboard has a separate 4-core cable underneath it which is the point stick cable.

Michael Sunday 28 Apr at Rutledge, "Graphical user interface cursor positioning device having a negative inertia Anyone can reenable these pointers using control pointibg. Unlike other pointing devices, it reacts to force or strain rather than to gross movement, so it is called an "isometric" pointing device. A number of ergonomic studies to compare trackpoint and touchpad performance have been performed.
Thank you, Joel, again and again. By using this site, you agree to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. What am I doing wrong???
Another criticism is that it stresses the index finger and may lead to repetitive strain injury. Email required Address never made public.

Since ThinkPad computers have a nub that is responsive to pressure in a direction, and there is a patent for this, [ citation needed ] other companies have made it so a person has to move the finger a large distance to cause the nub to rock from side to side in a much less efficient way.
Home About Joel Mansford. I had been looking like mad for the 64bit Alps driver. Dan Sunday 12 Dec at In time, the software will re-calibrate and stop the motion. I removed the rubber pointing stick button!

Stan Friday 5 Oct at While typically employed on a computer keyboard, IBM included one on its Trackpoint Mouse product; suggested uses included scrolling as with a scroll wheel or a dual-cursor system.
