Okay, since my computer's being a HUGE pain (something happened that requires it to be reformatted -_-), so I'm using my sisters laptop right now. Unfortunately, the little touchpad thing that's used instead of a mouse, seems to utterly hate me.

So, to give this a topic, do you find laptop touchpad mice things to be a huge difficulty, or are they just as simple to you as a regular mouse?

Ready....

GO!

Don't even get me started. I hate those stupid little touchpads they have on laptops. I had to use those for an essay in english class and I was just about ready to pull my freakin hair out! :screwy: They're just so annoying. But then again...I don't have a high tolerance for things that don't work very well.

People look at me weird if I'm making out with a laptop, plus, it seems to be harder to control it with my lips. But thanks for the suggestion.

I always always connect a regular mouse to my laptop, I can't use it otherwise. I once left my mouse at home when I took my laptop to school and the useless little mousepad thing infuriated me so much that I had to go to the student store and buy a brand new mouse rather than spend a day or two using the pad.

In my worser moments I think of it as a woman too. I get over it quickly b/c well...the lack of screaming kinda ruins it for me.

WTF am I talking about? *flee*

laptops are useless i tell you!

i have to attach both mouse and keyboard because I'm prone to hitting other keys as i type, and i often hit the touchpad which makes me write elsewhere on the page...so its just annoying.

laptops are evil and need to be killed, especially the batteries with aproximately half hour of life when fully charged *rar*

There's nothing wrong with touchpads, I just prefer to use a regular mouse, so I hook a USB one up to my laptop whenever I use it.

When I first started using a laptop, I had a hard time using the touchpad. Though after a while I figured a way to get it to work, you just have to touch it lightly and and don't move too fast... also don't put too much of your finger on it, just the tip.

Even though I don't have any trouble with the touchpad, I still prefer a mouse.

touchpads suck. Tablets/optical mice = rox.

also, wireless=sux.

well, specifically, my mom's touchpad works. The scroll doesn't work on it, so I have to use both hands constantly.

I hate them. It's just....not as precise as I'd like it to be. But that might be because I never really figured out how to control it very well. But that's because it's annoying!


:D

Yeah, I love the little buggers. Especially when they're dusty and the screen refuses to acknowledge that the touch pad is being touched.

One time I needed to use a laptop for like, 5 mins. I thought I'd be able to get away with just using the touchpad...

It took forever to actually do anything with it, that I ended up going and getting the mouse for the laptop >.<

I can use them all right, but I still dislike them in comparison to a mouse.

Well having a touch pad, Mouse AND Tablet (Wacom = <3) hooked up to my laptop I've never, ever used the touchpad for anything serious.

Touchpads suck.

I spent a whole day looking for a cheap USB mouse to go with my laptop, painful to use the pad.

While I prefer a mouse, I have no problems with using a touchpad. You just need a little bit of practice. The only thing that bothers me about using the touchpad on my laptop, is that it becomes very hot while playing games. Blame the Radeon card for that :<.

Mouse is cool. He can steal anything and he has three boiling-hot female operatives who each want to be shagged by him.

I despise laptop touchpads. Especially the ones that click if you touch them. :barf:

It was one of the reasons that I didn't get a laptop. Of course, now I wish that I did because I could have just used a regular mouse with it.
