Thanks Jerome, Alex, Aryeh and David for your input. Based on your
experiences, I have decided not to give the "Endurapro" a try. I'm also
not sure if I will make an attempt at the Lenovo keyboard with
Trackpoint, considering that I generally prefer desktop keyboards over
laptop keyboards. I might try it out if I find one in a store.
The input devices currently connected to my desktop computer (not an
IBM/Thinkcentre) are
- Microsoft Bleutooth Mobile Keyboard 6000
- Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000
I am actually quite satisfied with this setup. There is a slight delay
in keyboard response after a pause in activity which can sometimes lead
to unexpected behavior due to a lack of mouse--keyboard coordination
(such as Shift-Select), but one gets used to these things. Also the
battery life of the keyboard is phenomenal. The mouse uses laser
technology and is very precise, but it sometimes jumps when it
encounters light-colored dust on my black desk.
My reason for looking into the Endurapro was to get a keyboard with a
more desktop-like feel combined with a smaller footprint thanks to the
trackpoint pointing device.
Cheers, Alban

Hello,
I bought one of these many years ago. It felt like a non-ThinkPad
pointing stick.
No negative inertia and scrolled at a different speed than my ThinkPad 770X's
built-in TrackPoint. The keyboard part worked as expected.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky
