    I was hoping to find an orange colored trackpoint given the Halloween time of year and eBay has always been my friend for finding useless stuff, but alas, there was no such thing. Instead I found a raspberry, green and red colored trackpoints from this fellow:

    eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

    I received them today and popped on the raspberry color, frankly I'm digging it. Picture attached, and yes I know my keyboard needs cleaning.

    I bought some of these three or four years ago from the same seller. They're definitely unique. I prefer the soft rim and the seller only has the cat's tongue.

    I guess great minds think and buy alike hey. I also prefer the soft dome head, although the name is not as cool as "cat's tongue".

    That's not a bad idea. I wouldn't mind the cat's tongue, but it gets dirty so quickly.
