Never figured out how to properly use these. I just find it very akward to put my tongue that close to my keyboard.

Humble brag, you used it as the designer intended.

[-] [email protected] 96 points 1 month ago

Just hold it in one position and wait for the orgasm to cross the screen.

I used to have a friend that did R&D at IBM back in the day. Apparently there was a double nubbin version that they considered at one point.

What would the second one control?

[-] [email protected] 90 points 1 month ago

I never actually asked. We just made nipple jokes for 5 minutes.

If I were to guess, it was either a left and right side thing for left and right handed people, or a dual stick for 3 axis control.

I could actually see a second in be awesome for 3D modelling and CAD work

[-] captain_aggravated 3 points 1 month ago

Lefty here, the position of the nipple between the GHB keys is pretty convenient to reach with the left hand as well. I do know they made some mice that had a nipple instead of a scroll wheel which would allow for two-axis scrolling, so perhaps you'd assign one for document scrolling and one for cursor control.

TIL

A pointing stick (or trackpoint, also referred to generically as a nub or nipple) is a small analog stick used as a pointing device typically mounted centrally in a computer keyboard.

I came so hard when you firmly pressed my clit on one side for a little while

[-] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago

"Why is the keyboard covered in saliva?"

"I was practicing..."

Lenovo?! This was IBM, son!

Also get off my lawn

[-] EmoDuck 34 points 1 month ago

Sir, if you keep licking the pointing sticks on our laptops we will have to ask you to leave the store

[-] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

Yup, we call this the "clito" in France, since the 90s for sure

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

Me, gay, cave johnson voice: "what am I supposed to do with these?!"

(and no, suprisingly most guys I've been with have at best 0 interest in nipple play 😔)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Too ticklish and makes me squirm. Can’t even milk them for sustenance.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Something a little bit of rope can fix in a jiffy :p

I hate nipple play when sober. Bring on the alcohol and apparently I really get into it

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

I still don't get how anyone can efficiently use these. How does your pointer not go all over the place?

[-] gravitas_deficiency 28 points 1 month ago

Well, like any new user interface paradigm… you adapt to it. And if you don’t like it, don’t use it.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

At one point my main computer was a Thinkpad, I got so good at using this that I played total annihilation and mech warrior 5 solely with the nub.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

The best part is when your finger goes numb and falls off.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I developed tendonitis from the pressure i'd use with it. I eventually had to remove the nub so that I couldn't use it and forced myself the use the trackpad instead.

mouse & touchpad >>>> keyboard central analog stick wat

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Not if you type more frequently than you mouse, so having a pointer right on home row can be super convenient.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

I find that after using it, it was faster than taking my hands off the keyboard to engage the trackpad.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

turn up your touchpad cursor speed. thing is a monster.

Loved the nub, but it also ruined touch pads for me.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

It makes shopping for laptops either super-easy or super-hard.

I can either get a Thinkpad, or try to find the one or two HP and Dell business laptops with one... and we all know how it ends (looks at stack of X230t, E585, and new L13)

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

It's already hard for me because I personally prefer the US layout, while living in Germany, and most laptops seem to be only available with the German keyboard layouts. And Lenovo has kinda gone to shit after the Chinese takeover too. I just wish the nub would be more common, and not just for business models.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Lenovo starts up in China actually, so there is no "Chinese takeover". By that term you could mean IBM sold their personal computer business(ThinkPad, etc.) to Lenovo.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It is going to be harder and harder in a few years. They already worsened the keyboard and made trackpoint buttons flat like dell ones so we'll all eventually switch back to trackpads or mouses I guess. Too nieche product honestly so I get it but kinda sad :(

Everybody loves Nubert.

They were great back in the day when trackpads were shite and the option was a tiny trackball on your laptop.

Used to play starcraft with the nib 😏

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I call this one the "Zerg Rush". It's a fan favorite.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I practice my whole life for this.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Honey, where's your F2 button? I gotta get to the bios to start installing Linux. You'll really enjoy it!

While not necessary, I do find that mouse can have some niche application, like clicking while smoothly scrolling.
