As a coder while coding, how much mouse do you guys use? I try to minimize it as much as possible. And it seems like it is easier to hit touchpad than to grab an external mouse which is places 6-12 in away from center of the keyboard.



I’ve used the apple magic trackpads since they came out. As you say, it’s so much faster to just reach up and engage the touchpad surface, rather than to locate, grasp, and move a mouse. Third party software (BetterTouchTool) opens up virtually unlimited gestures. I’m never going back.
