So it's difficult to press a button without moving the mouse pointer. I always preferred those little fingertip joysticks in laptop keyboards. But there's no way that I can think of to fit one of those in this keyboard.
Yeah, I should have left it on. The buttons are also pretty bad. I wonder if a plastic screen protector for a phone would stick to it w/o needing adhesive and messing with sensitivity.
I never had a Thinkpad but those nipple joystick things are neat and another way to not leave home row. I imagine getting good with it is similar to home row mouse controls on high-end keyboards. I tend to under and overshoot a lot but it's more comfortable than constantly moving back and forth to a trackpad for simple 2-second mouse controls you might want to interact with a GUI.
I'm probably just spoiled with luxury Apple computers w/ their buttery-smooth glass trackpads w/ "Taptic Engine" tofu burger fake clicks.
