Any chance to have a trackpoint-style pointing device in the future?

Just to pile on, I would love to buy a Framework laptop instead of more ThinkPads, but I really can't do without a pointing stick keyboard. I even have a Tex Shinobi* for my desktop! I hope that Framework or a 3rd-party accessory can fill this gap in the market.

To pile on even more... A lot of Linux users used to buy ThinkPad because of the Linux compatibility, the modularity and the build quality, but got addicted to the trackpoint, and this has become the only reason we keep buying them.

A competitor would be very welcomed!whoever is going to take that market will have followers for a long time.

Piling up to the pile, the lack of trackpoint is what prevents me to buy a framework laptop. Please :-)

Are there any patent issues to deal with for that?
