looking for a keyboard with cherry brown switches and it has to have a trackpoint.
i tried searching google and i am wondering does such a keyboard exist? I am quite used to the trackpoint on my laptop, i don't have to move my hand away to move the mouse cursor, so i am looking for the same setup for my desktop.
prefer the keybaord to be tenkeyless as well, but this is not 100% nessesary.

the data911 keyboards do this.

there are several types and models. but law enforcement and military use these in vehicle.
very rugged.

i like it, however it is a clicky keybaord, it might drive me crazy with all the noise, but i might give it a try, we will see
i see it is also missing the middle button for the trackpoint buttons, i do use the scroll feature quite a bit...

i see it doesn't have trackpoint, the trackpad wont cut it . it looks like a cool keybaord though
