What options exist for integrated pointing devices such as trackballs, track points, or touchpads? All I’ve seen is the UHKB and some 3d printed models.

HolyKeebs just announced their new keyboards with integrated trackpoints: holykeebs.com/pages/trackpoint . Something they do that is really cool is build them into the microcontroller itself, so if your board has the microcontroller in a convenient place, you can add the trackpoint straight to an existing device (already sell it for pimoroni trackballs, trackpoint in Q3). I have a Corne from him with the pimoroni, and I enjoy it, but the pimoroni is not a full mouse replacement for me.
Trackpoint

The trackpoint module adds a trackpoint device to split keyboards that have a microcontroller mounted on the top side of the keyboard. the trackpoint module on a Corne Choc, with our printed case If you've used a trackpoint in the past, you can expect similar movement and sensitivity. QMK's mouse keys can be used for m
