Ploopy Bean: a trackpoint for every computer

Isn't the point that it's integrated in the keyboard, so that you don't have to move your hands away to use it?

This gives me an idea, does anyone sell these?:

    HEU   N
    DIN    U
     ^      M
    <⌄>   0.,E

With all full-sized keys? i.e. Numpad, arrows and home-end-insert-delete-pgup-pgdn? i.e. all the keys that Apple's laptops fucked plus numpad.

I’m using the caps unlocked CU7 every day; that’s how i discovered it : same frustration as yours!
( then i jumped onto otholinear keeb and now I’m not even bothered by apple anymore and run omarchy on a second hand thinkpad. Same excitement as when i got my first powerbook in the early 2000s…)

You can all kinds of keypads on AliExpress that are programmable. Some of them even use QMK.

This is made for me.
