I never actually asked. We just made nipple jokes for 5 minutes.
If I were to guess, it was either a left and right side thing for left and right handed people, or a dual stick for 3 axis control.
I could actually see a second in be awesome for 3D modelling and CAD work
Lefty here, the position of the nipple between the GHB keys is pretty convenient to reach with the left hand as well. I do know they made some mice that had a nipple instead of a scroll wheel which would allow for two-axis scrolling, so perhaps you'd assign one for document scrolling and one for cursor control.
We we talking about the early physical prototypes they were making. And when you do that type of R&D, you try lots of weird stuff. You don’t know if it feels good until you try it.
Could’ve been for handedness, then when they played with the prototypes, they realized the middle was the best solution.
Or maybe it felt great, and the nipple jokes were too much.
