Idontwantspam Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 (edited) Mouse sometimes, but I really like my laptop's touchpad, as long as it's not for long periods of use. Also, sometimes a tablet pc, in which case I use a stylus of course. Edited August 24, 2007 by Idontwantspam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Joker Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I stick with a mouse, I can work with a touchpad on my laptop for short periods, which is all I use it for on-site. Trackballs I absolutely hate as my hands tend to shake a bit (always have) making them impossible to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tain Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 i just gotta find someone with a Wii so i can "borrow" a Wiimote I'd let you borrow mine but I'm having too much fun with it I used to use a trackball, but it got dirty so fast... Switched to a wireless optical mouse...I used a trackball for FPS gaming many years ago. I did get annoyed at how dirty it got, but mostly I was bothered by the thumb cramps and the popping thumb knuckle that persists to this day.

cluberti Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I guess I'm not a gamer or I'm some old fart, because it is still possible to do much of everything with the good old keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 My question was really about general PC usage. Gaming wasn't really my focus...but I brought it up anyway. Do you use a mouse with your keyboard? Most of us older guys do! Although these days I use an Evoluent Vertical Mouse because it is easier on my wrist.
