If you can't shift your thumb down to the trackpad then you are a limp wristed faggot with literal woman hands. Now post a picture to prove you aren't a tranny and don't have painted nails.

>if you can't make your life harder like a MAN then you're a TROON
Fucking hell, then why are we discussing mouse input in the first place? Use your computer keyboard only. Throw your mouse away. If you can't, and if you're gonna bitch about it, you're a pansy girly little faggot.

Nah fuck it, no GUI. You want to browse the web? Use Lynx. And if you ever think "man, there must be a better way to do this" then you're a FAGGOT.

So? I have it, you can do hand strengthening exercises, buy a keyboard designed to reduce the strain and buy a trackball.

Because you are an autistic tranny?

I'll commit to it if you also throw away your tranny nipple from your keyboard and commit.

My brother in onions, how can this be true. Mice and trackpads (GOOD track pads at least) are an absolute pointing device, meaning the motion translates 1:1 from your physical movement to the cursor movement (let's ignore the gay acceleration that occurs in poor implementations).

A trackpoint is an analog stick larping as a pointing device that is a size of a nipple that only does relative motions. Please explain how this is superior because the people who claim that mice > analog sticks are very eager to hear out how you're MORE precise

You will never be a real computer mouse. You have no scroll wheel, you have no side buttons, you have no optical sensor. You are an analog stick twisted by IBM and Lenovo into a crude mockery of pointing device perfection.

It's pretty much the opposite. If you lanky hands you can easily move them or bend them to reach touchpad and do your gay gestures.

Trackpoints are great whenever you bring your laptop in the wackiest places (if you're a sysadmin that works with physical hardware). You already have one hand holding the laptop, however it could tip over if you press at the wrong spot. Putting your finger on the lenovo tit will sandwich it over your palm holding the laptop.

However in defense of touchpads, multifinger gestures can be incredibly powerful. I can swipe from desktop A to B withtout any issues, and the unintended issue of it still workin even while inside a VM makes it an indispensable for me.

People are right when they say the New 3ds c stick sucks... It slides around when theres sweat, and theres no texture! Lenovo's tit have these bumps that makes it grippier, digging into your sweaty fingers.
 
LOL at you losers whining over your mouses and trackpads. I an enlightened individual use eye ball tracking to move my cursor.
 
I bought a New 3DS in order to enhance my experience playing MH4U and that stupid little nub that they give you, to pretend it's a second analog stick, is either the greatest thing I've ever used or it hates my very existence. There's never an in-between. Much like my mom's old laptop, where I could either barely control it or I was having an easier time than I've ever had with a touch pad.

Overall I'd go with the touchpad for efficiency's sake. If you're not fat, in general, you shouldn't be triggering the touchpad any more than fat fingering the little nub between the keys.
 
Trackpoints are so worthless that I used to think they were some manufacturing defect and tried to rip them off.
