Apple fan boy spotted !
I use to carry a mouse with my Macbook for long coding session.
Don't get me wrong Apple trackpad are really good, but the hand position on any trackpad isn't great.
- bitwize 7y agoYour sarcasm detector is either on the blink or not tuned to the band I was emitting sarcasm in. Rat wrestling is bad enough as it is, but with an actual rat involved at least I can attain reasonable precision with coarse muscle fibers. With fondling the rectangle, not so much, especially when clicks are involved and forget about dragging. I need two hands to achieve what even the rat lets me do with one. But then again I'm old and cranky. Millennial hands seem calibrated to the fondlepatch, preferring it even to the rat, and I keep hearing gushes about Apple's fondlepatches in particular on Hackernews and r/programming.
