And here is a comparison with an actual mouse (first try on a Logitech Master MX 2s): TOTAL SCORE: 386; TARGET EFFICIENCY: 80%; CLICK ACCURACY: 89% Am I the only one who uses a mouse whenever possible, no matter how 'good' the trackpad is? The Logitech Master Anywhere 2s (the smaller version of the mouse I used above) is very portable, very accurate (even on glass), has excellent battery life and works well with bluetooth. It really isn't much of a hassle to bring it along anywhere you go.

I tried it with a "actual mouse" too --- a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical (the "classic" one that apparently a lot of gamers use, but I'm not much of a gamer myself --- it's just a cheap and comfortable mouse): TOTAL SCORE: 574; TARGET EFFICIENCY: 91%; CLICK ACCURACY: 98% I would definitely use a mouse over a trackpad; in fact I have an IBM X60 but it is not on hand at the moment, and I'd rather use the "clitmouse" on that than a trackpad. All the trackpads I've tried, including the Macbook ones, induce an unpleasant sticky feeling on the fingers.

It's easy to get similar 30 second scores in a short burst but maintaining them for a longer period of time on a track pad is tiring for me.

I've been using a trackpad exclusively for 9 years now (since the original Bluetooth Magic Trackpad came out). For me, touch gestures trump accuracy. I had some Logitech thing with a million buttons all mapped to different actions, and I never managed to get mouse gestures (in Opera at the time) to ever be effective. Certainly it's a matter of personal choice though, everyone does what works for them. Lots of people swear by only using a keyboard too.
