I've been using the full size IBM trackpoint keyboard i bought with my
home PC for about a year now, and love it.  I got it for around $120,
direct from IBM.  Expensive, and i could only find a version with
clicky keys, when i prefer silent keys - but still worth it, i
wouldn't do without it.

I'm sort of a fanatic about keeping my hands in place on the keyboard
when i'm working steadily at the computer, and find the trackpoint to
be worlds ahead of anything else i've tried in that vein.

The quality of the IBM keyboard seems quite good, though i still would 
prefer if the keys didn't click.  I'm curious about the alternative
trackpoint keyboards, like the adesso, but haven't tried any of them
at any length.  Anyone have any experience to speak of, with them?
