i don't seek them out myself but i assumed clitmouse addicts valued most their accessible position: right between keys on the homerow, where they can stimulate the pointer without having to engage their whole arm and shoulder or risk tennis elbow in their wrist. so are they really gonna be yearning for the ploopy bean that you stick way off to the side where us trackballers and mousers do?

other than that curiosity, ploopy products seem really cool, nothing against them

@pho4cexa it looks like a thinkpad is budding off some kind of small offspring.

I will say that I've enjoyed using a joystick or a trackball off to the side for mouse pointing, but I'm not sure trackpoints make sense off to the side from a muscle-memory and comfort perspective.

It just makes me think it would be a good way to source parts for a DIY laptop that needs a pointer device, once you take it apart.
