That's like, your opinion man.
The trackpad is a fantastic input device. I use it exclusively when on a laptop, and on a desktop I'll use both a mouse and a trackpad.
- card_zero 18d agoHmm, a novel style. What determines which you use at any given time? Do you just switch back and forth at random to keep things interesting?
- bschwindHN 18d agoThe mouse is better for precise pointing, and the trackpad is better for scrolling (especially horizontal), and multi-touch gestures.
- dd8601fn 18d agoAgreed… but really only for macs. That’s where it’s beautiful. I even use their larger external trackpad with the mini. But on work supplied machines and such I use a conventional mouse. It’s not even because everyone else's trackpads are fucking garbage (they are). It’s that systems that aren’t macs just weren’t built around using one. Some of the slightly-less-trashy bits of 3rd party software try to bridge the gap, but it’s not the same.
