• Trackpoint # you have to make the pin assignments clear of your tp module
• Some other mechanical keyboard switches,...

You can get all of them from taobao.

Firmware Tools

• tmk_keyboard # awesome project. You have to know how to build a kb(gh60) firemware.
• teensyduino # teensyduino is an add-on for the Arduino software. Please install arduino first.

Actually, I just convert arduino-trackpoint-extended project to c, and let it work on tmk env, nothing else. Thanks for the author sharing.

Wiring Diagram

• teensy & trackpoint
