For decades I thought the TrackPoint was a cumbersome tool that couldn't possibly replace a mouse.
But about 5 years ago, I just decided to start using it when wasting time browsing the web and got very very good at using it for navigation once I increased the sensitivity and practiced for a bit.
Today, it's the only navigation method I use on my laptop and desktop (via a TrackPoint II Bluetooth keyboard: https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/p/accessories-and-software/keyb...).
