An anonymous reader writes "Blogger pettijohn went on the search for the best USB external keyboard with a pointing stick. He found exactly three products that fit the bill in the market, so he bought all three and wrote a proper roundup review."

    It's a clit mouse.

    It depends on who your talking to:

    IBMer's referred to it as the Centrally Located Input Thingy

    Personally, I've always called it a g-spot,

    as it is situated next to the g key in case some of the virgins on here didn't get that...

    btw having it on the g/h keys is the dumbest thing.

    if you had it on the j or f key, then touch typists would already have the clit on their finger. no need to move it to reach and then point. just point.

    but then you would have a right hand and left hand keyboard.

    which is perfectly fine.

    I learnt it as "clitmouse".

    However, you shouldn't try to move it with your tongue.

    If I rub the pointing stick on the keyboard nipple, will I get a hard drive?

    You use the trackpoint more like a clit.

    But how am I supposed to see the screen if my tongue is anchored to the keyboard?

    I am the master of the clit! Remember this fucking face. Whenever you see clit, you'll see this fucking face. I make that shit work. It does whatever the fuck I tell it to. No one rules the clit like me. Not this little fuck, none of you little fucks out there. I AM THE CLIT COMMANDER! Remember that, commander of all clits! When it comes down to business, this is what I do. I pinch it like this. OOH you little fuck. Then I rub my nose with it.

    Quick aside: Why does FF's spellchecker not like the word clit? That's some sexist shit right there.

    I don't have mod points today, but thank you for making it worth my while to bring my laptop (with clit) to this meeting.

    Reject your pointing sticks, meeses, trackballs, clits, whatever!

    Unless you're doing layout or graphics, you don't need a mouse. Just shortcuts. The mouse is a very inefficient interface, IMO.

    And before you say web browser, let me say: vimperator.

    Your tongue isn't long enough to allow you to see the screen while touching the trackpoint? No wonder you're having all these kinds of issues.
