Alu Macbook users, do you use a mouse?

[mathieuheartmac]

When I first bought my macbook I hadn't used a laptop in a couple of years, and my hand and wrists were pretty sore the first night. Now I find myself going for the trackpad on my PC at work when I am working in Photoshop or Illustrator- to scroll around the screen.
I took some time off for the Holidays, and when I got back to work, using a mouse felt really weird and slow for a few minutes.

I love the trackpad. I only use my mouse when I am in an online class at my desk.

Only use a mouse when at a desk. Mind you, I use it mostly for gaming and sparsely for the rest.

I feel a bit crazy when I plug in a keyboard and mouse and start doing gestures on my desk or when two finger clicking on a PC trackpad

"only at the desk" for me

IMHO you can get stuff done (even if its just browsing ) a lot faster if you have a mouse. just more fluid for me.

When I'm working at the desk. Any other time, I'm truly mobile.

Well, I use the mouse for gaming and pretty much everything. But I don't hate the trackpad at all, it's by far the best I have ever used. When I'm reading a pdf I always use it, because it's some much easier to scroll down pages and zoom.

Mouse for editing photos, but other than that this trackpad is simply amazing. This is coming from a former PC user!

I hated trackpads and hated tap to click until I tried the glasspad. Now my mouse hardly ever gets used. The glasspad is perfect.

The Trackpad is the best thing that's happened to my life in the past 2 years..... just kidding, but seriously, it is.

The trackpad gestures make it a winner in its own realm. I use the four finger expose and two finger scroll features constantly.

The trackpad is amazing, once you've got used to it, it becomes second nature to use the gestures etc. Actually, using a mouse seems like such hard work these days, and it needs extra buttons to make up for lack of gestures.

When giving presentations.

Other than that, not much. The track pad works fine for day to day activities.
