But that touchpad though… you must be a track point pro.

Of course my friend :)

The TouchPad is the area below the palm rest? It requires users to interrupt the workflow. Probably some sort of design element or fidget? Never used.

Never had an issue using the trackpad of my MacBook with my thumb without leaving the keyboard. That of course only works with a great trackpad which click everywhere on the surface which is the case with ForceTouch trackpads

I wish I could learn to use the clit :( Every time I put my finger there things end up all over the place.

I had to force me to use it for a few weeks until it clicked on me. It's a pressure sensitive device, not a joystick. You have to get used to put the right amount of pressure for the speed you want to move the pointer.

Just turn off your trackpad.

I spent my childhood playing real-time strategy games with a ThinkPad TrackPoint. It's great.

Took me half a day to use it. Yes it's a bit sensitive but now I don't want to go back

For me it is a nipple. Anyone else?

Clit is generally considered to be the workplace-appropriate term, as some people have been offended by the “nipple”.

Really? I didn't know 'clit' had any other meaning than as a colloquial abbreviation of clitoris.

I would not use that term at work. I can only assume the parent is joking.

It does not

Which is kind of bizarre as nipple is also associated with breastfeeding while clit well… it only has one function

I'm offended by those people being offended by the word nipple.
