I don’t know how people use trackpads for anything but causal use anyway, even on a Mac I find them to be a constant strain on my psyche compared to using my mouse- I always have one on me if I have my laptop

By contrast, I don't know how people put up with mice. I discovered a cirque touchpad in the mid-90s and i've preferred them ever since.

Of course, nothing's worse than the weirdos who like trackballs.

You wrist-movers just can't handle the way we shine wondrously with our bright reds and blues, how we glide smoothly and graciously across the screen with the tiniest motion of a single finger, using a trackball is the closest a man comes to godliness.

Clickpads are horrible, but touchpads aren't so bad when they have tactile buttons. That's why I always print some for mine.

*Tries to imagine what the STL for a clickable button would look like*

ooooh, I see. I was imagining some kind of complex clicky mechanism - of course that's not necessary here, the touchpad has one built-in, I didn't realize. Thanks for the clarification.

Practice. Put enough time into an input device and it becomes second nature.
