We already have three, far superior mouse buttons above the trackpad, what is the point of the bottom two?
>>55495923
Ease of access.
>>55495923
>>55496014
this, and because some people disable one or the other, so there's independent buttons for each mousy thingy.

Same reason there's a touchpad at all. For normies who aren't used to the trackpoint yet.
thumb.
>>55495923
>not having an x200 with only a trackpoint
Right hand index finger on the trackpad and left hand thumb resting on the left click button.
I hate it how I can't do that on other laptops. So many times were I accidentally zoomed in on webpages.

Dedicated buttons are superior when it's not a clickpad

I'm using a Magic Touchpad right now. If you mean Apple's new ForceTouch gimmick, no, I haven't experienced it and couldn't care less if I ever do.
>>55497835
>>55497854
by tapping i mean like you'd tap touchscreen device. the clickpad on macbooks is the worst of the three.
>>55497888
The clickpad is the best way
How do I get used to using a pointing stick?
>>55497903
Just keep using it
I use both the trackpad and trackpoint depending on how I'm situated. If I'm laying in bed, I'll use the trackpad, otherwise I'll typically use the trackpoint.
>>55497903
Just think of it as the closest you will ever get to a clit
>>55495923

just buy a 1 port macbook fag

Where the hell do you get touchpad-less palmrests? Trying to get one for my X201, and the only places I've seen them sell for super jew prices (~$60)
>>55498041
Would this work?

Mine is an x200, which comes with no touchpad by default.
>>55498129
Cool, I think I can live without the fingerprint reader. The touchpad on the X201 is fugly and so tiny it's useless.
been thinking about getting a ThinkPad for programming and familiarizing myself with different Linux distro. X200, T420, or T420s. anyone who has any experience with any of these models, which do you prefer?
>>55498241
The x200 palmrest is compatible. I'm sure the fingerprint scanner is available. You shouldn't be using it though. It's incredibly easy to bypass
>>55498264
Nah, IIRC the fingerprint cables on the X200 and X201 aren't compatible - the X201 has a wider one to accomodate the trackpad.
That makes the X201 touchpad-less (but fingerprint-equipped) palmrest pretty rare and expensive.
But yeah, I'd have to admit it's a gimmick.
>>55495923
For user choice you autistic fucking retard.
>>55495923
For the same reason we have the trackpad at all. Because normies don't like clitmice.
>>55496014
Tripfags need to be stopped.
>>55495923
That's so you can fuck up what you're doing while you're typing and resting your wrists.
>>55498261
/tpg/ sticky faggot
>>55497744
Never used it but who thought it would be a good idea to have a crevice between the palm rest and the touchpad needs to be shot,
>>55495923
So faggots like you can troll on /g/ about them
>>55495923
>not just double tapping the trackpad to click
>>55495923
With the UltraNav software it's the best touchpad made. I use it more than the clitmouse.
I used the clit mouse for just 3 years and it fucked up my finger. I actually do prefer it, but for my hand's sake I use the pleb pad.
>>55497744
That is the worst trackpad ever created. It is completely fucking unusable and to make it worse, it's still horrible to use just the trackpoint with the pad disabled because of how it recognizes clicks at the top portion. Whoever let that reach production should be executed.
>>55497409
that pic is so cute!!!

>>55497698
You mean the point operated cursor device?
![force-touch-tech[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/GCya19P.jpg "force-touch-tech[1].jpg")
Objectively the best touchpads.
Why didn't anybody think of this sooner?
>>55501267
useless shit made for for wow-effect
>>55501267
I don't want the taptic BS, I just want the glass. I've damn near worn through the pad on my T520.
Glass is easier to clean too,
>>55495923
I've become so accustomed to using my middle finger on the trackpad and my index finger to click that I can't possibly unlearn it. Although why even use the trackpad in the first place when there's a trackpoint.
>>55501267
Because it sucks. Apple's trackpads that actually click are infinitely better.
>>55498329
gay
>>55495923
They don't exist on the t450, x250, t460 or x250.
>>55503293
This.
>>55502393
This is actually an x240, but I swapped the pad for the x250 like pad.
>>55501267
>Objectively the best touchpads.
>Objectively the best shits.
I'll admit Apple has done a very good job making touchpads good, but they could have started with a better input device to start with.
>>55497409
Damn glorious - I love my x200s.
