Laptop mouse

I don't really like the touchpad either but using a mouse when you are in your car or anyplace where you don't have a table to work off of is problematic. I finally decided to get a tracball which I happen to like better than a mouse anyway. This way I can use it no matter where I am working and I don't need a table for it to work.

The inbuilt mouse is of no use at all. It is so hard to use it. Even the touch pad on some laptops is not good. It is hard to control finger movement on the pad and it is also slower to move mouse pointer with the pad than it is from mouse.

I really don't like my touchpad. I CAN use it without much hassle but I'm so used to using the mouse on my desktop. I always carry an external mouse. I did buy one that was smaller for the laptop so it isn't too bulky to carry. One of my daughters loves the touchpad and when I have to do something on her computer, as admin, it drives me nuts having no mouse LOL The other daughter is exactly like me and always uses an external. Matter of personal taste, I suppose :)

I don't like the touch pad either. Shortly after getting my laptop, I dug out an optical trackerball I was no longer using, and starting using that with the laptop instead. I carry the trackerball around in my laptop case.

I'm alright with the touchpad built into my laptop also. I would love to use my external mouse all the time, but it's such a hassle sometimes. Like, when I'm using my laptop in bed or on the sofa, it's too much of a pain to carry the mouse along. So, unless I'm using my laptop at my desk, I just don't use the mouse, I use the touchpad.

I am behind you. The touchpad is really annoying. I simply adore the trackpoint built in Thinkpad. The trackpoint is much better than touchpad. However, the plain mouse is the best except its size.
