I will not buy a Lenovo without the clitmouse
Not a Lenovo icon. They bought ThinkPad, nippleclit and all, from IBM.
A brand has (finally) died.
Nah. Died when Lenovo bought it from IBM. Died again when IBM stopped offering support for them.
God is dead
Now it looks like…every other generic laptop.
I’m not a huge fan of the nub, I personally have always found it in the middle of the way. I do understand it’s use, though.

I use the “control nipple” occasionally, but I use the physical mouse buttons every day always.
Even though they’re slightly oddly positioned to use with the touchpad, they’re a million times better than not having any buttons at all.
Never used trackpoints.
And all my laptops are ThinkPads.
I Always disable both trackpoint and touchpad.I prefer it over trackpad, honestly. Just adjust the acceleration.
Edit: looks like they remove it only from Aura line. Please stub your toe somewhere, author.
Now put the clit mouse into a framework chassis (the relevant patents are now expired)
Yes, I’d switch if they did.
The new ones were garbage anyways. Mine is stuck at a polling rate of 10hz, and the acceleration is god awful
I actually stopped using mine a long time ago, and every time I get a new laptop, I remove it. Not because I hate it, but because I like it. Even after modifying the acceleration settings to where I like them though, the repeated stress of pushing on the nub eventually start to develop dendonitis in my finger.
After I’ve trained myself to only use the trackpad I put the nub back on. Partly because it’s so iconic it just looks wrong without it, and partly because I want to avoid conversations with guest about my growing clit graveyard (although I guess I could just not leave them in a cup on the coffee table where everyone can see)
I think you’re overstimulating. You need to be gentle, which benefits both of you. Try resting it on or near the nub and applying gentle pressure.

How do you have more than, like, 3? How often do you change laptops?
At least 2…
It’s super handy on my X1c 6thgen when my trackpad randomly freezes about once a month and I need to shut everything down and reboot. Bah.
Open to tips for fixing the trackpad if anyone has that on their radar!

removing the nub from ThinkPad is like removing cheese from a cheeseburger.
it’ll still be a laptop, but a nubless ThinkPad will always look wrong.
It’s honestly the only reason I still buy them. If Lenovo removes the nub or Framework adds it, I’m switching to Framework. Give me a 14" T or E series with TrackPoint and I’m happy.
Next thing you know they’ll put the Ctrl back in the right place.
Thankfully it can be swapped in bios
I almost didn’t buy a ThinkPad back in the day before I leaned that you can swap it. Such a stupid design
I also randomly saw today that framework has the opposite option in BIOS. For the people that migrate over
Just learning this now, I’m not sure if I should cry.
Control back in the right place… where you can press it with your left pinkie without taking your fingers off the home keys? Rather than where useless caps lock is just wasting space?
this is actually wonderful ive been debating what to do with my caps lock thank you
Escape next to 1 is also underappreciated. It’s how vi was meant to be used.
Exactly. I use escape way more than control.
