The Lenovo Technique

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

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?
- 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.
- Her prostate?

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

"Why is the keyboard covered in saliva?"

"I was practicing..."

Lenovo?! This was IBM, son!

Also get off my lawn

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

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

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 😔)

Too ticklish and makes me squirm. Can’t even milk them for sustenance.
- Something a little bit of rope can fix in a jiffy :p
- That is because they are milked for the antidote
I hate nipple play when sober. Bring on the alcohol and apparently I really get into it
- scribbles notes

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

Well, like any new user interface paradigm… you adapt to it. And if you don’t like it, don’t use it.
- 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.
- The best part is when your finger goes numb and falls off.
- mouse & touchpad >>>> keyboard central analog stick wat
I find that after using it, it was faster than taking my hands off the keyboard to engage the trackpad.
- turn up your touchpad cursor speed. thing is a monster.
practice and more practice thats it and also disabling the trackpad in bios
- you can do that in the settings too
You control how fast it goes by how much force you apply. It’s fairly sensitive too so you don’t need to apply too much. If it still goes too fast, you can always turn the mouse speed down :). It’s pretty much like a touchpad but your finger just stays in place and without the bad parts of typical touchpads. It’s been a couple years since I last used these but I remember them being a lot more comfortable and reliable than every touchpad I’ve ever used (except for maybe the one on my MacBook because that one is actually good)
- I've already put the sensitivity to the minimum value and I still find it difficult to use but maybe it takes some getting used to

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

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)
- 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.
- 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 :(
