What finger are you supposed to use (do you use) on the trackpad?

Not sure why you want to know but what the hell:

Right Hand Pointer Finger, use same finger for trackpad button.

And how to you manage to scroll by using the same finger on both?

I've been using a laptop as my primary computer for a couple of years now and I use my right hand middle finger on the trackpad and my right hand pointer for the button, the funny thing about it is I'm left handed.😀 Btw it is extremely easy to scroll using this method.

Right hand index finger on pad, right hand thumb on button.

I tried the clickable pad for awhile and hated it. Whatever you do, turn it off.

As most users, I use my right index finger and right thumb for my trackpad and I am also left handed. Go figure.

Both hands and almost every combination of fingers.

I just use whatever's convient.

When I do use my trackpad, its usually, right index or middle with thumb for button. When sitting in bed or when using the machine, but not for anything in peticular, its left index/middle and thumb.
