    Used one for a few years and I loved it:

    • it’s precise, you can really aim small UI elements
    • It is paired with actual buttons, index on the nub and thumb on the buttons, so no weird gestures to right click
    • It is very quick to switch from keyboard to mouse, your hands nearly don’t move

    But, there’s no mouse wheel or scroll gesture and maintaining pressure on the nub is maybe more tiring than a trackpad.

      Back when I was in high school, we had a shared pool of laptops stored in the library, and our teachers would reserve the library space for days when we were supposed to be working on laptops. My district had a bunch of Dells with the nipple mouse. To this day I still think it’s probably the most convenient and precise input device I’ve ever used.
