Why?
So you can write a program that makes it moan when touched
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudddeee :(
UwU
Well shit, maybe I’ve got the cash after all
If you have a multitouch trackpad, you can have one flat object that can moan when touched, given appropriate software.
If you have a pair of Valve’s Index finger-tracking controllers, you can have any object moan when touched, given appropriate software.
Crazy hypothetical… Even a toilet?
I am glad no one has done that for laptops so far.
That I know of.
Though now that you mention it, that’s a good use for the IBM trackpoint.
Someone already did it, and it’s pressure sensitive. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
You can’t just say that and not link it! https://github.com/wttdotm/nubmoan
I’m laughing at how the promo art depicts this as a perfect wireless device, with no power or HDMI or anything.
The manufacturers clearly realised if the promo art showed reality, it would be immediately obvious why nobody wants to use a mini-PC as a thick-ass touchpad, with a bunch of cables and junk dragging all over your desk.
Toasty touchpad
