Well, like any new user interface paradigm… you adapt to it. And if you don’t like it, don’t use it.

At one point my main computer was a Thinkpad, I got so good at using this that I played total annihilation and mech warrior 5 solely with the nub.

I developed tendonitis from the pressure i'd use with it. I eventually had to remove the nub so that I couldn't use it and forced myself the use the trackpad instead.
