Touchpad vs. external mouse: Which do you use more?

Hi, my friend I understand your feeling but I have not. My laptop is Thinkpad. I usually use small red point as my mouse. It can hand most of the situations except very complicated operations such as Photoshop. When I use others' laptod which is not Thinkpad, I do hope to use a external mouse.

I love to play games on the computer, and have found that some games are just near impossible with a touchpad! I much prefer to use an external mouse whenever possible. I would say that I use the touchpad if I'm only using the laptop for a short period of time (i.e. if I take a day trip somewhere) or for convenience. There are just some situations where you can't maneuver a mouse :)

I'd rather use the mouse rather than the touchpad, first because I'm not really comfortable using it, as much as I can even when I'm in bed with my laptop I connect my mouse and use it rather than use the touchpad. Plus I deactivate it since when I'm typing sometimes the touchpad interferes with it and I have to position the cursor to where I was typing before and it is kind of a bother if I have to keep repeating that.

I used an external mouse for a while when I first got my laptop, but now I usually just use my touchpad so I don't have to pull my mouse out. I guess I've grown pretty used to just using my touchpad. At first I was extremely uncoordinated with it, but over time my skills have vastly improved.

I would prefer the old fashioned external mouse any day! You cannot play RPGs with touch pad. But it is very comfortable to play them with the external mouse. And also touchpads are magnetic to dirt and you always got to keep washing them. This is not the case with external mouse. This is why I love external mouse!!! Happy mylotting and may God bless you!

I would like to use external mouse than touchpad because it is more quickly and comfortable.

I use an external mouse, I think I can do things quicker than using the touch pad on my laptop. My kids like the touch pad and always hide it from me!

I rarely use my laptop, whenever i use my laptop i use an external mouse which is very easy to handle and is more comfortable the only times when i use the touch pad is when i am traveling, or when i am keeping it on my laps.

I only use touchpad because I do not have a external mouse but I have a friend who has a laptop and uses a external mouse.
