Here's the feature request for a TrackPoint on a Framework. Hope they change their mind, because a pointing stick is the most obvious use case for Framework 16's input modules.

Third party module possible. Convince dell to make thinkpad keyboard module ;)

Dell used to have pointing sticks (branded TrackStick or Dual Point) in some of their business laptops, but they removed them all in 2021. Lenovo is the last major laptop producer to use pointing sticks. Maybe System76 will come through?
