ahhh i got home and a package with my replacement trackpoints was waiting for me!! they grip way better than the crummy old one i stole from a Toshiba satellite (and now i can return it there) (or put a brand new ThinkPad one on it since i have 9 left) https://computerfairi.es/media/01lQOtuPH6j3LM5jM_g
@squirrel thinkpad keyboards are the best laptop keyboards ever
@troubleMoney right behind them is the toshiba satellite. they're very similar
actually they might be in the same spot for me
@troubleMoney thinkpad mouse buttons feel better tho. the toshiba ones are a bit jank
@squirrel haven't had my grubby tentacles on many toshiba satellites, I'll have to keep an eye out for them
@troubleMoney here's mine, wonderful dos machine, sound blaster with FM, feels like a damn brick and not at all built like one though. very fragile https://computerfairi.es/media/1l79Ou1wHEIntMoouV4
!!!
I haven't seen one of those in so long! I used to lust after them. :D
@squirrel ooh, v. shiny
@squirrel Aaaaaaaa, maplepad!
*now ponders replacing their trackpoints, which are kinda work out.*
*shakes head, shouldn't spend money on that r.n.*
@kellerfuchs i got mine from a chinese ebay seller, you get 10 for like $5
@squirrel Oh, yes, AliExpress.
Mmmmh, tempting <3
also the thinkpad just feels so much nicer to use than my other laptops like just. the keyboard is so good and. heck
