Do you have a mouse for your laptop?

I have quite a complicated answer to this one... My first laptop didn't have a mouse and I quickly became a keyboard shortcut adept. It was rare that I would use the touchpad at all. Currently I use my partner's laptop to access the internet (mine is having issues with the router). While he has a laser mouse I tend not to use it; it's big and bulky and ugly. However, if I remember I will plug my mini roller mouse in... but it only works if already plugged in before starting up *sigh*. If I'm on my own laptop then I'm either playing games or writing. Both of which I prefer to use the mouse with and not the pad. I find the option of not having to use the mouse good, whether it be because I use the pad or the shortcuts (tab is my best friend), but some things really need a mouse for the speed and accuracy. laptop users have the bets of both worlds :)

i don't have a laptop but we have laptops in the office which we use very frequently. its okay for me also to use it without a mouse but like you said, its more convenient and faster when you're using a mouse. sometimes it would feel awkward when you're just moving your finger or the button and it makes working a little slower. ^__^;;

if possible,I will have a mouse,because I think it is more convenient too.I do not care for the touchpad,it is too sensitive.sometimes,it waste my more time to type something.

I don't have one. At first when I got my laptop I thought it would be weird and i wouldn't like using the pad that it has but I've learned to like it and I don't think it'll be the same if I have a mouse. And plus when I use the laptop I'm on my bed and am laying down and I can't use a mouse like that.

I have a mouse for my laptop (somewhere....???) but I do not use it - I use the touchpad... It took me a while to get used to it, so I did use the mouse for a while after I got my laptop, but once I got used to the touchpad I just started using that all the time.

i'm kinda irritated when i use a mouse pad instead of using a mouse. so it's definitely a must for me to have a mouse

I have not used laptop, but I think most probably I might need a mouse. I sometimes use shortcut keys with my keyboard on my computer, but I still think I need mouse. I think most probably I might buy additional mouse if I own a laptop some day in the future.

On the first computer I learned on didn't have a mouse.So I didn't learn how to use a mouse. My current lap top computer doesn't have a mouse.

Yes, i have a mouse with my laptop. I need a mouse as it makes my work easier. I need it for gaming too. :P

I have a mouse for my laptop because it gives me comfort when surfing the net. It is uncomfortable using the touch pad.

at first,i bought a mouse for my laptop.but after few days,i found that the touch pad is better than mouse.now,i use mouse only when i play games

Yes, I use a small retractable mouse on my laptop. I do not like the mouse on the laptops at all.

My laptop has a built-in mouse, so I don't see the need for an external one. I don't ever use the mouse anyway since I am blind, LOL.

nope i dont have one at the moment, i have been planning to geth one though. Last time i bought one of those wireless ones, which comsumes a great deal of battery power and gets erratic all the time. In the end i couldnt be bothered with it. a mouse is convenient.

Hi youless I have a mouse pad. I wish I had a laptop. I left alot hints for Christmas but didnt get it. Oh well someday I will get one.LOL

yeah, i agree with you. its much more convenient to use a mouse with your laptop... but now, i'm training myself not to use a mouse when im using my laptop... cheerS!

I do the same as you 'cause it's faster and more easy to use a mouse.

me, too.. i really do not like using the touchpad to move the cursor... i cannot manage it very well... and i always get upset if the cursor wanders off elsewhere. i prefer to use the mouse - it 'listens' to me.. ;-) cheers.

sometimes i use an external mouse for my laptop because its a lot easier to use an external mouse than use the default one in the laptop.it hurts my fingers when using it unlike the conventional mouse which is a lot more comfortable.

I have to use a mouse with my laptop, couldnt live without it, I do alot of music work, so theres a lot draggin,dropping and snipping, so the touch pad juts doesn't cut it, Little USB mouse does the job perfect!
