Nipple mouse. (The red dot in the middle of my ThinkPad keyboard.)

I also like to use the UltraNuv buttons together with the trackpoint (nipple). Trackpoint + the middle button - nothing beats this for scrolling. Except maybe C-V and M-V :)

It's called TrackPoint. I got so used to it that now I buy a USB thinkpad keyboard for my desktops too.

There are quite a few names for it depending on the "tone of conversation":

I also like Track-Point on my ThinkPad. Probably the benefit is that I can use it without removing any of my hands from the keyboard.
