I am a long time trackpoint user. I'd been using the Lenovo Bluetooth keyboard for several years but wanted to upgrade to a nice split mechanical. I looked into several models of mechanical keyboards that had trackpoints, but none of them appealed. And looking into the various hacks to add one were a bit beyond what I wanted to try on an expensive new keyboard. I noticed that qmk firmware seemed to have a nice implementation of mouse keys. I figured it would be an ok stopgap until I figured out a better solution. After a few days and several remappings, it's now my preferred solution.
