When you're using a laptop...

[DrawninwarD]

Out of curiosity.

Whenever possible, I'll use a little mouse. Otherwise, touchpad.

EDIT: Assuming mouse isn't available and your laptop has both trackpoint and touchpad.

touchpad, when no wireless mouse is appropriately configured.

I'd prefer a mouse, but I'll use the touchpad if that isn't available. This laptop doesn't even have a trackpoint.

USB mouse

I use the touchpad if no mouse is available. By the way, what's a touchpoint?

Ah ok. Yeah I don't even have one of those on my laptop so touchpad it is for me.

I use a touchpad when my mouse isn't plugged in. I'd prefer a trackpoint over the touchpad.

I mix it up, actually. If I have have to do long drag n' drops, then it has to be the trackpoint. For orindary surfing its the touchpad.

Trackpoint is so annoying its too sensitive sometimes.

I would give anything for my laptop to have trackpoint like my old thinkpad had. I prefer it many times over to the regular touchpad. I find it to be far easier to use for precise movements and generally less hassle to deal with.

That's what she said.

Trackpoint.

Trackpoint = mouse nipple.

 

[Newbian]

Needs a mouse option since the other 2 suck.

Well this is ATOT so 99% of us are equally skilled at handling both. I am totally serious.

I actually like the precision of a trackpoint but my experience with them is that they don't last very long. Seems like most laptops with them develop tracking glitches after a year or so of use. My father had 2 laptops with trackpoints on them and both were useless after about a year and a half. If ever possible I'd use a mouse.

 

[Mo0o]

Depends. For quick mouse movements while im doing a lit of typing i use the clit mouse, if im doing more extensive mouse work ill use the pad

 

[RbSX]

I hate track points, touch pad all the way.

Is there anything they haven't done a joke about yet?

 

[SlickSnake]

A large Logitech cordless mouse for my large man hand. Those touchpads, touchnipples and small mice are just impossible for me to properly deal with.

I also use a large right thumb controlled Logitech trackball on my main system.

 

[Eeezee]

Touch pad if I can't use my mouse for some reason
