Well?

well?

Tap. Anyone who clicks is a fucking faggot.

Also, shit thread.

[nip]

I remember some 40 year old chink who owned an auto shop show me his "awesome" new phone in 2008 or 2009, where it was some no name brand smartphone where he could click the entire screen, because tapping was too difficult for him.

I thought it was the gayest shit then. Glad it didn't catch on.

>not disabling the touchpad in BIOS and exclusively using a trackpoint

I don't type on an ipad

>Not disabling the tap function to avoid misclicks

Only normies tap. Those of us with half a brain click.
Plus clicking just feels more satisfying.

>misclicks
are you handicapped?

There's a few ways to get around that though.

>disable the touch pad for x milliseconds whenever you hit a keyboard button
>lift your palm up instead of resting on the laptop like a neanderthal

[tap]

My fragile, withered body is too weak for clicks

I get more misclicks with clicks enabled and taps disabled than the other way around.

I only use trackpoints with physical buttons.

This

[clit]

user please, this is Sup Forums, not /hm/
the real question is
upper or lower left button
lower for me

>has a trackpoint
>still uses trackpad like some normie

When I disabled my trackpad in BIOS the bottom buttons went with it, so top.

only one option. upper. idiot

>Not having a macbook and having to deal with such problems

kek

How huge are your hands?

> using a trackpad

Mouse or 100% keyboard navigation. There is no alternative.

>There is no alternative.

leave now

>He doesn't have a trackball grafted onto his right hand

Nah

you sick fuck

You're trying to be an elitist, but... You're worse at using a computer than someone who knows how to use all three. (Me)

Keep sucking at interfacing with a computer retard, one day you'll git gud.

Neither. The W540 has no physical mouse buttons because Lenovo fell for the cancerous "clickpad" meme. I had to set up some custom Xinput config to make certain keybindings emulate the mouse buttons, just to be able to use the trackpoint properly.

> refusing to use a trackpad is now not knowing how to use it
> refusing to use a trackpad is being bad at computers

Here's your (You)

If you're okay with only being able to use some configurations of computer, that means you suck.

The person who can use any computer is better than the person who can't.

> I like to use the touchpad for pointing and the trackpoint buttons for clicking

Pls don't bully

>not just having the trackpad scaled to the size of the screen so you can have mouse-like accuracy without lifting a finger
what are you guys even doing

I'm with you.

>using a macb*ok

I click on MacBook Pro. Touch on ASUS laptop.

>not using a non-shit device with tactile buttons

>not using x200 without a pad

Why the fuck would you ever want to use tap? Less responsive than clicking and it's mere existence leads to more unintentional misclicks.

There's just way too much resistance to it.

are you disabled? serious question

its easier to tap than to click
it is responsive and I don't have an issue with misclicks

That sounds pretty fucking sweet actually. Registering finger positions and giving specific commands or the depth of clicking to navigate large folders versus tapping. Hell click and pinch is blowing my mind right now.

A friend of mine back in the day had a blackberry storm which did this. The whole screen was a large button. Resistive touchscreen, not capacitive.

>>lift your palm up instead of resting on the laptop like a neanderthal

>have flat surface before keyboard
>expect people to NOT rest their wrists on it
????

What's your argument?
Is it just because you do something and you think others who don't are wrong?

I use a clit and titty mice what r u gay.

Forgot pic

clicking is annoying

I rarely use my thinkpad's clit since it is docked most the time. But upper left button when I do.

Tap always on the Mac.

tap.
also, natural scrolling > reverse scrolling
ps: you can scroll with two fingers on trackpad.
pps: you're welcome

click if I have to
I don't buy computers without a trackpoint though.

Clicking my laptop's buttons feels like shit but I still do it because the physical feedback is stronger than that from tapping. It's proper.

>""""natural""""
back in my fucking day we called it inverted
because thats what it fucking is

and back in your fucking day they called traps gay
no one cares grandpa!

I had one. I fucking hated that phone.

I used it in like 2011/2012 though, it was my first "smartphone." but i also had an iPod touch at the time so I was exposed to what I really wanted but didn't get the whole experience.

What are you talking about?

I'm moving the view, not dragging the damn page

*slap*

>hmm i have to click but i can't let go of the track pad to tap because user on the internet said it's gay

>using a trackpad
>ever

serious question: how the fuck do you get anything done with a trackpad? trackpad vs. mouse is like keyboard vs. phone screen.

Track pad is tap but mouse is click.

9+ years of using a laptop and I never knew you could tap until this thread.

In fact "natural" is naturally reverse.

Agree with you senpai. But I don't want to carry mouse wherever I go.

>using the touchpad to click at all

Real men use the dedicated buttons above on their ThinkPads.

Neither.

I can't fucking STAND tap to click, it always misclicks for me, I disable that shit faster than I block an ad.

would that count prior art to "force touch"?

literally this.

>I'm moving the view, not dragging the damn page
it works the same on cellphones, tablets etc.
not really. reverse scrolling moves the scroll bar, not the content. which is retarded.

Tap, because you have to be a dumb retard to miss clicks. Unless it's a terrible trackpad but the picture is macbook, which means best trackpad

Also, tapping is good for middle finger moving the cursor / index finger to tap.

Black berry storm?

it's called a touchscreen

Click on macbook, tap on anything else

That helps threw me off on my Mac

>2017
>still uses a laptop from 1999
>uses chinese botnet
>uses a plastic laptop
>uses a laptop with a shit trackpad

THIS.

>there are people in the world using laptops without trackpoints

disgusting.

top because I have a very small x120e and my manlet hands can't reach the bottom without effort

/thread

>there are people who aren't too autistic to use a trackpad
stop the presses!

>not physically disconnecting the touchpad

>not sawing your laptop in half so you only have a keyboard and no screen
GUI is for cucks

This guy knows where it's at

Do you have the template for that IBM sticker?

No because on touch screen, you're literally touching the page

Click. Only inbreds who move the mouse at 1 pixel per hour can even physically tap in the first place.

Trackpoints are the most retarded meme ever, period. They're the most inaccurate shit, even fucking voice commands are more accurate. On top of that they're slow as fuck. Not to mention they require more effort than any other input method to even use at all and that clicking when using them is insanely unnatural.

opposite of truth

t. literal inbred

Tap because I’m not an inefficient sloppy idiot

>tap
>natural scrolling
My nigga

its way better

i always fuck it up on shit laptops that dont use it

There are two kinds of people.

>Tap because I'm an inefficient sloppy idiot
FTFY

It's actually GNU/Linux on the left.

clicker all day long nigga whoo whoo

no it isn't

but its not youre just an autistic memester that uses it for no reason other than to shitpost

It actually is. Stop being so butthurt about it, pajeet. It might leak out before you reach the street.
