I am so glad you asked this. Being new to this I thought it was just me. I find it more difficult to use a mouse coz I cant control it very well.

I use a laptop, and can touch-type quite well. Recently I've noticed how much time I spend

correcting errors, my fingers' seem to dart around, it's very frustrating and time-consuming.

Sometimes, focusing the cursor is a real challenge!

I use a touchpad (IPad), as it's easier for me than using a mouse. Also, when using my large laptop with a keyboard build in, I find I keyboard with just my index fingers...,works for me! ;o).

I´ve bought this PC--mouse.My "lappie" has got a touch pad - but I don´t use

it a lot.

Scrolling in particular with a touch pad I find difficult

i also use a cordless mouse on ny nettbook I tried the type with a touchpad but found it imposable so now I use a wheel type of 5 button mouse but had to download x mouse button controle [a free program] to reverse the buttons but it alows you to set any button to any function
