So other than clit-mouse, what's the actual name of the nubbin thingy?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

It's the click-toris.

Apparently wiki identifies it as a "pointing stick".

...also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.

Lenovo calls it the TrackPoint but most people call it the "nipple"

We always called them mouse nipples.
