This line has me more excited over everything else. I can't wait for a mechanical keyboard with a trackpoint like device.

I'm a big fan of Thinkpad keyboards and have a few USB versions, but finally switched to mechanical keyboards 6 months ago. I still miss the Trackpoint daily though...

I've seen a trackpoint- (or some equivalent eraserhead pointer thingy) bearing keyboard with cherry (blue?) switches in the store, but it was a bit too "maximal" for my taste (numpad, lots of function keys etc).

Really? Do you remember which store or which brand? I can't think of any current keyboard with Cherry switches and a trackpoint.

Thanks for the link to LABI. I've never been there. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in Tokyo.
