one thing I don't get is why the proper mouse buttons are above the mousepad

[-] Deuces@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

They're for the clit mouse. The bottom of the touchpad still has a physical click option

Some call it trackpoint. It's the red button in the middle of your keyboard

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

does anyone actually use that though? it's super impractical

[-] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago

Yeah there's some amount of people who like it, including me. Wouldn't use it over a proper mouse, but surely over a trackpad

[-] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

Not impractical, you just don’t have enough experience with them yet :)

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 3 points 9 months ago

This is just the better way, just as its better to swap Fn and Ctrl

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 1 points 9 months ago

the Fn shouldn't be there at all, just add more buttons

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

Often possible but no.

Thinkpads now having sticky Fn keys by default is hillarious though, people just dont use Fn keys (and I have to admit all I use is F5 and F11)

[-] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 3 points 9 months ago

there are some games (Minecraft) that use the F buttons too so I find it annoying having to swap all the time
