Alexander. Posted January 30, 2019 Posted January 30, 2019 Laptop users! What do you use more often, the touchpad or a wireless mouse and why? Using my finger a lot can be a pain whilst gaming using a touchpad, so that's I prefer a Wireless Mouse. It's easier and more convenient.

I use my touchpad mainly but when I am doing activities like animation or video editing, I use my mouse because the touchpad is very problematic to use in certain applications.
Cleopatra92 Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 When using my MacBook I almost always use my touchpad. I just don't do anything on it that really requires me using a mouse. Even playing The Sims I can handle using my touchpad lol.

Wait until you encounter one of those touchpads with a fingerprint sensor on it and that particular part of the touchpad doesn't work and I am sure you will change your opinion. 😂

I'm sad I'll have to replace it eventually ;_;

skyfire Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 Fingerprint sensor can be really pain especially when you want to use someone's computer or say laptop. In such case those often may time out and you have to consonantly ask for finger print.
SpaceExplorer Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 For me, the touchpad does not exist. I never could get used to it and always have a mouse ready in my laptop bag with me.
skyfire Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 I think not a lot of people prefer the touchpad in the laptop. I have noticed that there are some of the games where you can use the touchpad but the movement would be lot slower. And the mouse seems to be better option.

For gaming, I tend to use the mouse or a controller because my touchpad tends to start acting up during games.
StaceyPowers Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 The scrolly thing on my touchpad is always getting activated by mistake, and it isn't ergonomic, so I'm a mouse person. killamch89 1
skyfire Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I think in near future a lot of games are going to be touch based or VR based games as it is. And it is going to be much fun playing some of those games with it. But for now the mouse is good as well.

Exactly my point - the Touchpad on my laptop is sensitive and activates all kind of stuff when trying to game so I use my wireless mouse instead.
skyfire Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Even with the laptop. I am using the USB mouse. The reason being I am not quick with the laptop's touchpad. And it can be often slowing me down while I am working. So external USB mouse is what I prefer most of the time.
