I honestly don’t see a purpose for a mouse when you have a state of the art, not yet surpassed trackpad. Of course it is mostly regarding the MacBooks, not when you’re using an iMac or Mac Pro even though the wireless versions are also a joy to use, except for the delay you get when you’re used to a built in trackpad



Using a trackpad permanently seems like a recipe for RSI, at least I will have pain in my hand for a day or so if I use the trackpad for more than a few hours.


Are you for serious now?

Ok, try to log in to app.sketchup.com and play around with it. For instance, try holding the mouse wheel button and move the mouse around while doing it, to pan.


on a trackpad you just pan with two fingers.


While holding middle mouse button?

Or panning while scrolling up/down at the same time?


Can you do any precision work with the trackpad, though?
