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.

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] 88 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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.

We we talking about the early physical prototypes they were making. And when you do that type of R&D, you try lots of weird stuff. You don’t know if it feels good until you try it.

Could’ve been for handedness, then when they played with the prototypes, they realized the middle was the best solution.

Or maybe it felt great, and the nipple jokes were too much.

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

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago

Lenovo?! This was IBM, son!

Also get off my lawn

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

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 😔)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year 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 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 year 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 year ago (1 children)

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 year ago (1 children)

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

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] 8 points 1 year ago

I practice my whole life for this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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