In case you don't know, a "pointing stick" or "nub mouse" is the little dot in the middle of most laptop keyboards. The Bean takes this design to its full potential.

And of course, it's 100% open-source!

I really hope you guys would work on Bluetooth devices in the future.

I had to write a device hook for it to give it acceleration when it moved (the linear motion was slow and useless)
