I'm typing this on a Thinkpad Trackpoint II keyboard and have no idea why I'd want an off keyboard pointing stick. If you want to use a pointing stick why not have it right next to your index finger while you're on the home row? If you want your mouse cursor control to be off of the keyboard, why not use a regular mouse?
I'm on the lookout for a wireless ball mouse. I want to relive the glory days of cleaning out the little cylinders on the inside of the mouse without being constrained by wires.
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…)
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?:
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!

You can all kinds of keypads on AliExpress that are programmable. Some of them even use QMK.
This is made for me.
