    I appreciate the name and am a fan of flicking the bean, but I can’t imagine picking up one of these. If I have the space to put this beside the laptop, then I have the space to operate a mouse.

    Very cool that it’s completely Open-source, mechanical parts, electronic and software, all included in the repo ! It’s a project I would be interested in doing.

    Interesting idea. But half the benefit of the trackpoint is being in the middle of the keyboard. You don’t really have to move your hand to go from typing to nipppling. Also how well is that thing going to stay in place? If you’re moving the cursor fast you’re putting good pressure on the nipple. If it had a wrist rest it might not be so bad.
