No, a TrackPoint with three mouse buttons associated with it, like on 
your thinkpad. Ya know, the little red joystick thing between the 'G' 
and 'H' keys? The thing you use to move the mouse pointer on your 
thinkpad when you don't have a mouse attached? Perhaps just the thing 
that causes typos on G or H occasionally? It's called a TrackPoint.
