Have you tried touchpads? Switching to touchpad takes almost no time.

  > Have you tried touchpads? Switching to touchpad takes almost no time. ... but touchpads are relatively much less precise than mice, especially when used with your thumbs. For many activities, this matters (e.g. precision is required to select text in many cases; it can be maddening to have to continually re-select the same text because you keep missing the first character...). I've noticed many people actually switching to "touchpad mode" for precise movements, where they move their whole hand down and use their index finger on the pad. This seems to increase the accuracy somewhat, but of course incurs the same switching overhead as a mouse...

    I always use index finger and don't have problem with precision (I even don't own a mouse). It takes not that much time and comparable with time to click Esc in vi.
