... In all fairness, I use a trackball, where I can scroll in any axis. Zooming, of course, can be done with a keyboard. I'm not even sure what 3D touch is.

- robertoandred 6y agoWhat trackballs offer free scrolling? And something done with a keyboard is by definition something not done with a mouse. And 3D touch is something that's very convenient.
- se32point1 6y agoI don't know if you answered my question: what is 3D Touch? Sure, it might be convenient, but it's hard for me to imagine without knowing what it is. > What trackballs offer free scrolling? My trackball (Marble Trackball from Logitech) offers it, with a little configuration. Effectively, you're holding down a button and using the ball as a scroll wheel, letting you move left and right. I can imagine that any trackball (since by nature they have the "ball") with some configuration could be used for free scrolling (at least, well, on Linux). > And something done with a keyboard is by definition something not done with a mouse. We scroll on a mouse. We can also scroll on a keyboard (with arrow keys). So they are interchangeable sometimes. I know Windows also has a feature to emulate the mouse with arrow keys. So this isn't inherently true, unless I'm misunderstanding.
- robertoandred 6y ago3D Touch is where you press deeper to activate some function. Sure, you can do lots of things with a keyboard. But your suggestion was that a mouse is faster and more useful than a trackpad.
