Do you prefer a mouse or touchpad?

[msc545]

Most laptops have a touchpad, but most people use a mouse and just a few people use the touchpad. How about you?

I like to use the mouse

I prefer the touchpad

I use something else (say what)

It depends on what I’m doing. If it’s just basic internet surfing, or using Word, I’ll use the trackpad. The trackpad on newer MacBooks is really good. But for work stuff I typically use an external mouse.

Mouse if I am sitting at my desk, but touchpad anywhere else.

Depends on if it's a laptop or desktop. Laptop: touchpad. Desktop: mouse. I prefer a mouse though.

I hate touchpads. They never seem to do what I want.

[SnowedIn]

Definitely mouse.

And I despise those little button things in the middle of the keyboard.

[musicbrain5]

I’ve only seen those on older IBM/Lenovo laptops. Haven’t seen them lately on newer Windows machines.

@musicbrain5 ... lol, you're right! :) I'm merely underlining my age. :)

Actually have preferred trackball instead on desktops, and mouse stick on laptops for the past 10 odd years.

Yeah for me using a mouse is easier sometimes. When I use a touch pad I might double tap it on accident.

[llorando]

I prefer a good old mouse, especially for gaming.

[lottiebannotie]

Touchpad but I'm not very good with computers to be honest

[slatyb]

Vertical mouse.

[exitseven]

A mouse. I don't like touchpadsm

[jamesgoldman]

Mouse, can use a keypad short term

[weysally]

[KrakenAttackin]
