I call it the clicktorus

I never thought to use my tongue to move the mouse

KinkPad FTW

[–] HakunaHafada@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

AKA Twinkpad

[–] BadlyTimedLuck@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I just got one for work, and I kept giggling to myself because of this

[–] HakunaHafada@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

Here you go, source material!

The joke is that programmers actually have sex.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 26 points 2 months ago

Some of them move to marketing and become sexual predators

I always wonder why that dot ass mouse hasn't been in any joypad. It's perfect for precise movements

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's the teverse of precision for me, slow slow medium weee speeed!

The closer I am to a target the more I will overshoot it

Controller innovation is dead in the water because familiarity :(

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I have a NeoGeo pocket color. That clicky joystick is the absolute best directional input I think I’ve ever used. A shame it never got adopted in the wider gaming community. But I think the Lenovo nubbin would be great as a thumb pad.

[–] vorpuni@jlai.lu 22 points 2 months ago

So that's why the keyboards are waterproof too?!

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (5 children)

So other than clit-mouse, what's the actual name of the nubbin thingy?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

It's the click-toris.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

I too, prefer them to touchpads.

Apparently wiki identifies it as a "pointing stick".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pointing_stick

...also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

Lenovo calls it the TrackPoint but most people call it the "nipple"

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

We always called them mouse nipples.

[–] AllToRuleThemOne@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

…and other fairy tales you can tell yourself.

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 8 points 2 months ago

Is this ALSO a sex joke? 😄

[–] lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

it's true, lesbian confirmed

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

The love nub

Why would you lick your Thinkpad?

[–] rikudou@lemmings.world 2 points 1 month ago

Why wouldn't you?
