Keep asking them, I do.

So far they say there isn't enough demand.

I'd totally give it a try right away, well assuming 3 buttons of course!

No idea. I’ve never liked any non-Lenovo pointing sticks I’ve tried, though.

One possibility is that none of the manufacturers they’re rebadging from offer this feature.

I am in the market for new laptop and my 3 key desires are: AMD Ryzen 5 + pointer stick + USB power connection

The current only option for me is Thinkpad, but I truly wish others would jump into that space.

Does System76 design these machines themselves, or are they rebadged? They might not have control over what the keyboard is.

Until recently, system76 simply rebranded hardware produced by Clevo.

Link to an old HN thread.

Link to an article from Linux magazine stating that System76 are still mainly Clevo (Sager) rebranders.

I hate touch pads.
