I don't like touchpads, especially the touch-click option cuz sometimes I drag my files or folders somewhere else while I don't want to move
I think small ones like pen-rubbers are better than touchpads. However, I agree on that nothing can take the place of normal mouses.
P.S. Normal mouses=wireless,optical,at least 2 buttons,1roller

I agree. Rubber sticky thingy over a track pad anyday. Though neither come close to a good old mouse.

Yeah, "nubs" are great - mainly because you can operate the mouse without having to take your hands off the keyboard.

Yes, I hate those too. I also hate touch pads. The only decent laptop pointer that I've ever seen (but unfortunately don't have) is a miniature mouse I saw once from IBM.
So normally I just carry a regular, full-sized mouse that I always plug into my laptop.

Totally agree with you. That thing is evil. I ![Heart | [heart]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/love.gif) my touchpad. (Especially the fact that I can tap to click if I want.) However, I always carry around a normal Microsoft 5-button Intellimouse anyway...just cause it's easier to use.
Hawaian shirts and shorts work too in Summer.

Why so few trackballers? It is far less effort to use than a mouse and a lot more precise? Wish I had one at work...

Why dont you get an extra, and bring it to your work and use it there?
I have done that with keyboards, because I love to have the same keyboard both at home and at work...

I assume $$$$ Around me they have always cost twice (or more) as much. The optical mice have been a great improvement.

I used a track ball for a while, but I had to quit because it started hurting my thumb joint. Has any one else had that problem?

Nope no problems. In fact, my Expert 7 with scroll ring probably saved my wrists. I had serious CTS for the longest time usinga mouse. After a couple of weeks with my trackball it's almost completely gone... now, if I can just do something about this keyboard.

I tried trackball but in everywhere people use normal mice(I mean ball is under it) and when someone using my mice s/he doesn't like or use it so I should go back to normal mouse.I also like normal ones
P.S. Normal Mice=Wireless,optical,at least 2buttons,1roller

I use both a trackerball and a mouse (sometimes at the same time). The only problem is that I use the trackerball left-handed (mouse right-handed) and have found it difficult to get a trackerball that is easy to use left-handed. The one I use is a simple one with no scroll wheel which can be used either handed. Anyone know of a decent laft-handed trackerball?

I've tried using a trackball, but it just doesn't work for me. I think I lack the fine level of control in the thumb that they require. (or the patience to acquire it)
So at least for me, a trackball does NOT take far less effort to use nor is it more precise than a mouse.

I believe it just a figure of speech. It acutally means navigation.

It is what Antipodeans have to do when they enter the northern hemisphere.
Actually I think Chris just means navigating/using the desktop.

It means sticking out your hand, putting down all fingers except the mid -- oh wait, I think in this context, all it means is chanigng windows/navigating.

Hi,
Flipping means "turning of a graphic object from left to right or from top to bottom."
