Yeah, General Firearms would be the best place for sure. But I don't think anybody would complain about the Break Room.

I like my new mouse that I got yesterday, but now the right click side of it is super sensitive and just the slightest twitch of my right ring finger activates it.

I don't mind trackpads at all, but the one on this laptop is offset to the left side of the machine so I end up right-clicking when I had meant to left-click pretty often.

The first world problems thread is thataway…

If there had to be an offset, I'd rather it be to the right side of the machine.

I have never been able to get the hang of track pads. I always go with a mouse and disable the track pad. I look like some kind of retarded monkey trying to use a track pad.

And the track pad on this laptop is just a rectangle with no delineation between the right and left click areas.

I know a guy that loves track balls. Never could understand that one.

The first non-keyboard device I ever used was a "Koala Pad" no one even knows what that is anymore.

I've not heard of that one.

I don't think I've ever used one of those. Or maybe I have on some kind of coin-op video game maybe?

Literally the grandfather of the track pad. Used a stylus, had two buttons at the top.

I'd never let one get that dirty, but you get the idea.

That sounds like a pain in the butt!

 

[ancjr]

I loved it.

Leave it on the desk for navigation. Hold it in your hand for drawing. Brilliant.

I'd probably feel like a retarded monkey with that too.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I guess it's just a matter of what you get used to. I've seen people zip all around screens with just a touch pad and I'm amazed at it.

I used trackballs on most of my servers it was nice because I didn't have to sit down to do something simple.
