I will not buy a Lenovo without the clitmouse
God is dead
Oh its one of those Thinkpads that isn’t actually a Thinkpad like the Thinkpad Yogas. My ideal Thinkpad would be a proper release of the T480 25th Anniversary Edition with newer components.
Not a Lenovo icon. They bought ThinkPad, nippleclit and all, from IBM.

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.
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?
Escape next to 1 is also underappreciated. It’s how vi was meant to be used.
Exactly. I use escape way more than control.
this is actually wonderful ive been debating what to do with my caps lock thank you
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.
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.
My work laptop is not Lenovo but has a nub. It’s works great when I have work gloves on, since the touchpad doesn’t respond well with those.
Who has still with nub?

me too my Thinkpad E14 gen 2 is very tough and that trackpoint helps me a lot.
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!
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…
“Can’t find the clit-mouse. Damn.”
I AM THE CLIT COMMANDER!
Guillotine time
Never used trackpoints.
And all my laptops are ThinkPads.
I Always disable both trackpoint and touchpad.Admittedly overdue and also a sign of the end days
A brand has (finally) died.
Nah. Died when Lenovo bought it from IBM. Died again when IBM stopped offering support for them.
