Does the trackpoint have "press-to-select" functionality? Sadly, that incredibly useful function isn't on the X240's identical board...

Well, you've taught me something I didn't know about this press-to-select feature. I don't know if this model has that feature. When I have a bit of time (hopefully this weekend), I'll look into it. You might want to Google the question with the model number to see if anything comes up. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Still it's a fabulous little keyboard!

The track pad does not have buttons. You tap for a "click." The touch sensitivity is very good and has multi-finger gestures. It is on par with my MacBook Pro's touchpad and works the same.The context click, right click, is done by pressing in the lower right corner until you hear it click.The battery is consistently lasting 8+ hours for me.

That's what I used it for as well as my wired Logitech trackball mouse. Mysystem wss xp. Worked well.

The "eraser-point" is officially called trackpoint, and I love it too. But no, this keyboard doesn't have trackpoint though for some silly reason just now when I searched for "keyboard trackpoint" this is the second result. The first result is a real keyboard+trackpoint though.

When that happens to me, I realize it's because one of my thumbs touched the trackpad--and I agree it's a pain in the components. I'll bet there is a setting to turn off the trackpad somewhere (I use a real wired mouse), but I've managed to live with it well enough so far.

This is what worked on my Asus K55N. Opened Smart Gesture by clicking on triangle in lower right corner (near battery/power icon). Then double click on tiny square that looks like a touch pad. That opens Asus Smart Gesture. It takes a minute. Zoom is on the right. Uncheck the box! FIXED!!! Thank god. I was going to throw the thing out the front door.

While I'm not sure if it uses Bluetrack, I have noticed that it works differently on different surfaces. I've noticed a change in sensitivity when switching from a heavy lacquered wood desk to MDF to my cutting mat to formica to marble countertops to bedsheets. Bedsheets being the worst. It's fairly negligible with average internet trolling use but when I'm using programs like solidworks and illustrator or anything else in the adobe creative suite where accuracy is important I've found it to be frustrating.

Sorry, but I'm old-fashioned and usually use a mouse. However, I can turn the touchpad on or off using "Control" with the (F6) key; you might try that.

Honestly, I am not sure. i don't use the mouse for any gaming functions. The upper left part functions as the left click and the upper right functions as the right click. If tapped simultaneously I suppose it would achieve the desired action. I tried this maneuver today in a blank area and nothing happened. I bought it use on a Lenovo ultrabook as I was sick of the track pad. it comes with a small (6 inch) recharger cable that plugs underneath the mouse (mini USB) and the other end to the USB port on the computer. i like it. is it a heavy gaming mouse? I would have my doubts. Logitech wants the ultrabook owners to get this. Honestly, I am not sure. i don't use the mouse for any gaming functions.

No this does not. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the "Thinkpad Yoga" has that pointing device. This is the "Ideapad Yoga"

Just normal, as any other trackpad I've used. It is just bigger than what I'm used too. And the left and right clicks are hidden below the trackpad. And the software for it, works perfectly for Windows 8, with all the gestures and stuff.

I bought mine to work with SketchUp, where it performs flawlessly. With other apps, there are application profiles (in the beta driver for sure, in the latest drivers possibly as well) where you can associate device actions with keystrokes\mouse actions. Tried using it in Corel X5 \ PS and my media player, but results were mixed (lots of time to set up, sometimes laggy performance, inefficiency of keystroke\mouse emulation vs "native" plugin approach). If I had more time I might try figuring it out, but generally, works best with 3D apps.

There is a cue or track mark capability but I've never used it so I'm not sure how well it works.

Super easy, just a tap of a button; you can even use the sticker that's half trackpad, half number, so you can do both at the same time

you can set it to focus automatically, focus on select items and focus on forground only. You need to go through the menus to see and select. I am still learning all the things it can do

Just plugged it in to try. Scrolling, left-click and right-click zone work. Other multifinger gestures (define, mission control, next/prev desktop, zoom) do not. I even opened USB Overdrive and it doesn't recognize the gestures as events coming from the trackpad. So, it works, but is missing most gestures.

I use the trackpad in bed (I have a bad back and use a computer table as well). I have the touch gestures enabled so that i can tap instead of click. If you have the trackpad set up this way, you can use it on a soft surface.
