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.
Lenovo?! This was IBM, son!
Also get off my lawn
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.
“Why is the keyboard covered in saliva?”
“I was practicing…”

Just hold it in one position and wait for the orgasm to cross the screen.
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)
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.
Used to play starcraft with the nib 😏
