    At least this is the vegan option. They used to be made from cat snouts.

          Hey, dells used to be decent. I thing my latitude 5290 is a better investment then a x280 (since it has upgradable ram and practically same build quality).

    I wish I could stick one of these in my desktop keyboard.

    A fully mechanical keyboard with a nub between W and S so that I can play videogames with a joystick and a mouse, for superior aiming AND moving.

    Maybe I could design and print a WASD(QE) section/assembly with custom keycaps with a gap and install a nub as a mod.

      I used to have a desktop keyboard with the nipple in the traditional middle of the keyboard configuration so your fingers could stay on the home row but something about it was off maybe the acceleration or something I’m sure I could’ve fixed it in software if I were smarter but it never just worked like the Thinkpad ones

      I would be fine with just having pressure sensitive WASD keys to control my speed beyond forward and forward but faster/slower, depending on what shift does. It’s insane how much a keyboard with pressure sensitivity costs tho. It might be cheaper to build my own.

        Wouldn’t it be ‘simple’ with hall effect sensors? Those seem to be pretty commonplace nowadays.

    Thinkpads used to be quality machines, but my last two laptops broke after just a year. One was keyboard, other was mouse pad.

    Is it really that hard to put quality components in parts that are physically touched a lot?

    Im going for some other brand next time but they all kind of suck now it seems.

      It’s not hard, but the more laptop lasts, the longer it will take before you buy a new one.

        My 2017 MacBook pro, the shittiest MacBook version of the 21rst century, functioned well and was my primary computer until a couple months ago.

          Good to know!

          Currently I run a secondhand Dell Latitude, it was well cared for and is in a great condition, even the battery capacity sits at 94%. Runs Linux like a charm. Couldn’t be happier about it and hope it lasts me a while.

      I got a framework, which is built around quality parts, repairability, and upgradeability. Theoretically it’s the last laptop I will ever buy.

        I liked the concept but the reviews have not been amazing. I hope you like it, because I would love to have one if its actually good.

      Frameworks are the only good worthy successor imo.

      I’m not that familiar with newer ThinkPads as I only ever used a L540 and a T420, but can’t you just replace the trackpad or keyboard if it breaks?

        Wednesday clearly isn’t a day of the week, so you can infer a “no.”
