Looking for wireless external keyboard with trackpoint (aka pointing stick)

[zdeno84]

Hello,
I am using wired Lenovo Thinkpad external keyboard with trackpoint (also called pointing stick) for my gaming setup and would like to replace it with wireless version. I do not use mouse.

I know Lenovo released one recently, but was wandering if there is another manufacturer with any wireless pointing stick keyboard on offer? I did research this extensively, but found only Samsung Q1 with unfavourable reviews (it also lacks middle-mouse button).

Is there anything like this being produced or are we stuck with Lenovo as the only option?
Thanks

majority of those you suggested are laptops, so can't be used as external keyboards. I do not favor mechanical keyboards neither as I don't sit behind the desk while gaming.

I only found one which looks fine which is the Sony PS3 one, can that be used on PC (win7)?

does this mean there are no external keyboards with trackpoint beside these?

Those are all of the models that have ever had the track point implemented into their keyboards. But pretty much the only keyboard that is known to be fully compatible with the pc is the one I think you already listed which is novo ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint you could do something like a wireless keyboard with a touchpad if you are into that kind of thing. I have one for my htpc, but i do have a couple games on it and I'll sometimes play on it from my couch. A touch pad on a laptop does feel weird but the way the position it on a full sized keyboard it feels pretty good.

well, seems there is a gap on the market then. Touchpad is not an option, it doesn't come any close to trackpoint by my opinion and I can't imagine using it for fast paced games I like to play.sometimes.
thanks for the effort though, I might need to stick to lenovo models.
