hi mylotters, do you use mouse in your laptop instead of the touch-pad? coz actually it makes me slow when i used the touch-pad, and sometimes the arrow or pointer is going somewhere in the screen, so i bought a mouse and plugged in to my laptop.

in my opinon they are almost equal so in a lptop using the touchpad is not uncomfortable for me as if i use the mouse in a desktop...so from tis point of view i haven't much issues..

I almost don't use the touch-pad of the laptop because it is inconvenient. I prefer to use the mouse because it is very flexiable. I love China

I don't like the touch pad so I bought a mouse that is wireless. It has a little plug in for the port so I can use it without a wire. I don't like the track pad because its set up different than a mouse. I can do more with a mouse anyway because I'm using my hand and not just my finger. You don't type with one finger, why would you try to control your computer with one?

Only sometimes I mean if I am playing a game or something I will use the mouse but usually I just use the pad on the laptop. I guess I got used to it though because I have had it for so long now it is like second nature to me. It's amazing what you can get used to if it's all that you have haha.

I am more comfortable using the mouse. Touchpad sometimes makes me work less because i am really used with using the mouse.

I'm having a hard time using the touch pad that's why I usually brings my mouse. Yes, it is too sensitive that the pointer is moving not the way I wanted it to move.

It's easier for me to use a mouse. I know, a touchpad is more hi-tech, but I find it difficult to use. Maybe it's just me being tech-challenged and all.

I cannot stand to use the touch pad as I find it way to sensitive for me. I use a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard. I also use a stand so my laptop sits up like a PC. I like it this way as I am able to remove my laptop and take it with anywhere I go.

With my two laptops, I have no problem in using the touch pads at all. I believe there is a problem with your touch pad. You need to check and fix it. In my personal views, I don't use the touch pad so often. I prefer to use the mouse which is cheaper for me to replace after it's lifespan. Sometimes, the similar case can be happened to the mouse too. It was happened to my desktop once a while when it was overheated or when I accessed certain program which might crash with other. Consult the experience technician to resolve your problem.

Hi there. I always a bigger fan of mouse. I can move much quicker! Touchpad is great only when there is less space in the area...especially my messy table! Have a great day!

both are nice, but i feel that a mouse is more useful when you are working on your lappy at home. But wih a touchpad you get used to it.
