Cool but I just want mouse buttons. Why did we stop doing mouse buttons? Clickpads are horrible and I'm worried that we are forgetting what we've lost.

- RajT88 1y agoI hate touchpads as a whole. When did we stop doing laptop trackballs? (I know, I know, the last laptop with a trackball is able to legally drink by now)
- seltzered_ 1y agoThe MNT reform has a trackball option: https://mntre.com/index.html https://mntre.com/index.html
- egypturnash 1y agoDoes anyone even make a laptop that's thick enough to have room for a usefully-sized trackball in there any more?
- RajT88 1y agoThat is defeatist thinking!
- egypturnash 1y agolaptop with flip-out legs to keep it high enough off the ground for the trackball to work despite half the ball having to come out of the bottom of the case bonus side effect: if someone spills a drink across the coffee shop table you don't have to try and grab it before the liquid spreads to beneath it

- zevv 1y agoOh boy, I feel you, having no buttons is such a PITA. I've mapped my caps lock and windows button to LMB and RMB for years, works like a charm!
