As we all know Microsoft announced Windows 10 for phones this wednesday. Most of our focus went to hololens there is more to focus on. It seems microsoft has not spent much time explaining many new features.
Precision pointing stick in the on-screen keyboard is one of such features.The button reminds us of what Lenovo still offers on its ThinkPad laptops. The pointing stick makes it easier for users to position the keyboard cursor between letters in a word as you can see in the image below.
It doesn’t seem to be there to control a mouse cursor, but that doesn’t seem necessary on a mobile device like a smartphone where buttons are large enough to touch simply. Still, it’s a welcome feature and goes to show that Microsoft is paying close attention to detail.
