Do you use an extra mouse with your laptop?

[sillymofo]

Well, do you? Cuz I do, and I'm nosy like that.

Seriously, I can't stand either the mouse tab, or the nub.

Yes, now if only my POS secondhand laptop started up when I needed it instead of only when it wanted to, but that's a whole different issue :beer:

 

[Anubis]

i dont have one, but if i did i would use a mouse whenever i could

 

[JulesMaximus]

Yes, I picked up a Logitech cordless optical usb mouse for my laptop. I hate those pointing devices on laptops. They suck!

My Logitech MouseMan Traveler goes everywhere my laptop goes.

 

[MrDingleDangle]

yep

 

[hjo3]

Yep. I always carry a full sized MS IntelliMouse Optical USB in my bag w/ my notebook. The only time I don't use one is when I'm watching videos or just flipping it open to do something really fast. Then I can make do with the damn touchpad.

I like my trackpoint too, and I don't use an extra mouse.

I've got a trusty logitech marble thumbthingy that I like to use. It works great for a laptop because you can just set it on your knee or on the edge of the tray in an airplane without having to track all over the place like a mouse requires.

i use a tiny domeshaped AMD-64 branded mini optical mouse(AGM9500) with retractable USB cord by Agiler that I got for free at the latest AMD Tech Tour

i use some small optical mouse , not at the momment

 

[booger711]

ooops stupid touch pad made me double click

 

[Squisher]

When forced to be my wife's personal tech support and work on her laptop I can't stand that touch pad. Glad she's got a logitech MX700 mouse she normally uses.

 

[johnjbruin]

if i'm using my laptop for a long time then yes.

eg of yes - coding on laptop for 6-8 hrs

eg of no - just browsing the web for like 30 mins

I bought a kensington wireless mouse for my laptop. $39, and it came with a charging cradle. Best investment i ever made for that laptop.

 

[TwiceOver]

Trackpad, except when I need to do something that requires alot of small movements, then I switch to a logitech usb wireless travel mouse.

 

[vexingv]

you'd figure that since a powerbook only has one mouse button i would use an extra mouse, but i dont. but then again i only do basic things on it for short periods of time. however if i hook it up to amonitor i pull out either a m$ optical notebook mouse (that i got for free off of the HD forums or logitech mx500

 

[cheapgoose]

i have to. I use my laptop at school for proE. iit requires a middle scroll/button.

 

[SZLiao214]

I cant stand to use the trackpad. Im pretty sure if i forced myself to use it more i would get used to it, but i am just much more comfortable with my optical logitech mouse. Hoping to get a cordless one soon though.

 

[vegetation]

I can make do with the pad but prefer attaching a mouse. If I'm on the road, I wont take the mouse though, to save weight.
