Am I the only person who wants a Thinkpad type trackpad-button in the middle of the keyboard so I don't have to move over to the mouse or trackpad?

The only problem is that I use a split (ergo) keyboard :/
If I could buy a prebuilt, I think it'd be my endgame.
I don’t use it and know little about the project, I just remembered that it’s a split keyboard with an optional trackpoint attachment.
Unsolicited advice: you should definitely never visit /r/mechanicalkeyboards.

I have one. Somewhere. Because the keys need to be as close as possible, it's less than ideal as a keyboard, and because even though the keys are right next to each other there are still gaps between the keys, it's less than ideal as a touchpad.
That's when it worked. It wasn't reliable for me.
I did in fact find a keyboard like that online -- some noname brand, and the promise was good, but not the execution. A high quality version would be welcome.
Anecdotally, around 2010 I’ve worked for a company that used Thinkpad laptops, the majority of people would always choose touchpad over trackpoint.
