Or, you can apply more pressure, and the mouse will move faster.
That means that (at least in theory) you can push it gently to barely move the mouse. The nub is intended to be fairly responsive to the pressure you apply to it. Some people prefer this method of control as compared to a trackpad, but plenty of others disagree. You can push it in different directions, and the cursor on your screen will respond accordingly. We’ll get into the modern versions later. Today, you see fewer TrackPoints than ever, but they do still exist.
The concept is simple, and it was fairly popular on laptops for a long time. The button is designed to work as a mouse on a laptop. There are other colloquial names, but those are the main names. It is known as a pointing stick, TrackPoint, or nub. Shall we take her home Oh Well, I think you did it.5 Does a TrackPoint Add Value to a Computer? Why Is There a Small Red Button in the Middle of a Laptop Keyboard? DON'T Hit the Big Red Button Posted by Kosta-Colorado-IT-Geezer on Dec 2nd, 2015 at 8:23 AM. Thanks to the creator of the Big Green Button (the really old HTML one, not the newgrounds one) for the inspiration.ĮDIT - August 2009 - To anyone who's mentionned they've seen this thing elsewhere, please note the upload date. You just officially had the worst date ever. It can only get better from here, right But if it doesnt, you can always borrow my dart gun. There are countless stories about the 'Red Button'.Īnd show everyone bald-headed phony I dont think so, (YELPS) what a you are. Like, 'Don't Press it', or that someone couldn't resist doing just that. Back in my mainframe days (like 100 years ago) there was an irresistible 'Emergency Pull' switch on the system. I'm the original creator of the BRB and I never expected it would get so much "attention" if you could call it that. It's been copied over to nearly every "i'm bored" website and now there's even a god-damned iphone app for it! I'm both honoured and kind of upset that people are making money (however little) off my creation. Regardless, I'm glad everyone is still having fun with the little guy after 5 years.
:DĮDIT - March 2010 - Because I'm seeing the question asked everywhere: The white button is on the second "no text" frame. It originally linked to the Big Green Button (an html based game similar to mine - NOT the big green button on newgrounds) but that site has since stopped working.
