  I know that a lot of keyboard builders that integrate trackpoints are using stem extensions, using things like a glued labret cheek piercing as described in https://github.com/alonswartz/trackpoint and other places), and I have some questions.

  I'd encourage you to think about just taking your favorite keyboard and adding a track point to it DIY. I just took a trackpoint out of at $16 thinkpad replacement keyboard (RIP rest of the keyboard), and stuck it into the thumb cluster of a 4x5 dactyl manuform. This was by far the most complicated mod I had done on a keyboard, but there are lots of instructions available online. I followed the instructions posted by alonswartz and used a variation of the u/manna_harbour code.

  You've probably seen and know about this, but if the Trackpoint is integrated into the logic board, it means you can make movement of the cursor activate a function layer, on which any key (probably the left thumb cluster) could function as a mouse clicks.

• Need help identifying correct pinouts for trackpoint. I tried using pinouts from a similar trackpoint but it didn't work.

  I would never thought of using a piercing by myself. I took the idea from another build: alonswartz/trackpoint: How to integrate a trackpoint in a mechanical keyboard (github.com)
