    Default External Mouse Or Touchpad?

    Recently my kids have commented on me using an old fashioned USB mouse plugged in to my laptop rather than the touchpad. Even a wireless mouse would be a step forward apparently.

    Maybe it’s just habit but I find it far easier to use an external mouse. What about you guys?

    I agree, dislike the touchpad and usually only use it when I am on the road and don't have the time or space to plug in the mouse for whatever reason. Usually when on the road I will take the wireless mouse with me and anything more than just a few quick things, I am gonna grab it and turn it on lol.

    Some guys might have perfected it, but if I am trying to do something in say photoshop, for me the pad just aint gonna work and only a mouse will do the trick.

    I've never really been a big fan of the touchpad, as I've always had difficulty in using it and it doesn't seem as accurate and on point as does a mouse. The wireless mouse is what I like to always use, without any doubt.

    My touchpad is disabled I dislike it so much. It frustrates me when I am typing and you accidentally touch it and it moves the cursor. I always use an external mouse, I wouldn't travel without one.

    A nice wireless mouse is the best these days, especially with no additional latency, so the wired stuff has almost no advantage these days.

    Definitely a mouse. I think you'd end up with a bit of a wonky finger if you used a touch pad all day every day.

    On my PC desktop I use an external mouse. On my Macbook Pro I use the touchpad. I have an external mouse for the Macbook but did not like the way it felt and moved.

    Always a mouse though a combo of mouse and touchscreen if using a laptop also works well. copy and pasting text or resizing windows witha touchpad is a nightmare

    In order of preference: external mouse (wired), external touchpad (also wired), touchpad. I only use the touchpad when I am with the laptop moving from one place to another.
