      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.

        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.

          That sucks man. At least something like that doesn’t have to be permanent.

        Not if you type more frequently than you mouse, so having a pointer right on home row can be super convenient.
