    Lenovo has always been trash; like it’s not that bad style. The best was the clit mouse thing.

      Apparently the mouse nipple is good for people working out in the field with big gloves on. I don’t for the life of me know why they put it in the middle of the fucking keyboard instead of in any of the empty space beside the trackpad, but it has a use, allegedly.

        Because it’s for typing. And most people who type on QWERTY keyboards do so by using a pretty standard position, where pointer fingers fall on F and J.

        Bu putting the clit halfway between those anchor points, you get a thumb that’s almost always available for any cursoring.

          1. this makes sense for the original setup, fair.
          2. I think with the modern usage, it would be cool to have it moved or duplicated.

        The actual use is for text/document editing, you don’t need to move your hands away from the keyboard to quickly select something with the clitmouse. Thinkpads are business laptops.
