I honestly wasn't expecting the touchscreen analog stick to get any votes, and yet one of the first two votes was for that one.

Now why the hell did someone actually vote for the trackpoint nub? I definitely wasn't expecting that, and I only put it in because the New 3DS had one; we don't consider it anything close to a good control method for video games.

@Rosemary maybe people didn't quite get that you were aksing specifically for video games? it's great on a computer

@noiob Hmm, that's true. Let me redraft it. Because yes, the trackpoint nub works great on computers, and I'd certainly hate to use any of the other options for a computer.

@Rosemary oh, also a thing that can be used to control games: trackpads, like on the Steam Controller

@noiob I can only make four poll options! Though you could probably change that if you wanted to.

@Rosemary I guess I could 😅 I'll check if it's easy

@noiob That wasn't really a request, by the way. It'd be nice if you could, but I don't have any pressing need for it. What would be more helpful would be the ability to put more characters into poll options! I know I've seen other instances do that.
