Couldn't disagree more. I've actually ended up getting a Magic Trackpad for my desk - the gestures etc are genuinely useful.

If open floor plans are bad, working on a flight has got to be even worse. I guess I'm lucky that I don't have to do any of that. > I've actually ended up getting a Magic Trackpad for my desk... Well, you're a rare bird then.
- thatswrong0 10y agoI also use a Magic Trackpad instead of a mouse at work as a dev. I also do music production exclusively with my Macbook's trackpad. I'm definitely more comfortable with it than a mouse for my normal work habits.. and I was able to beat people online in Starcraft pretty handily with a trackpad. I don't doubt that I couldn't become more precise with a mouse over time, but I really prefer scrolling and gestures to what's available on a mouse.
- troncheadle 10y agoSee if you can find sales numbers for your elitist 5 button vertical mouse vs. the trackpad.... Then we'll talk about who the 'rare bird' is. Grow up.
- untog 10y ago> Uggh. That sounds like a terrible way to work. Welcome to the real world- sometimes we have to do things in environments that are less than ideal! Given that Apple have iterated and released multiple versions of the Magic Trackpad, I doubt I'm that rare of a bird.
