Magic Mouse, or Magic Trackpad?

I use the Magic Trackpad since the beginning, mainly because of the different multi touch gestures.
When I got my first Mac desktop in 2008 or so I initially used the Magic Mouse. At some point and I don't remember when tbh I tried out a trackpad and have been using it since, must be going on 10 years or so. Wouldn't want to use anything different.
The trackpad for me is just like the trackpad on a MacBook just bigger and more comfortable to use
That’s mad, because I got my first Apple Product in 2008: An iMac!
It came with the Mighty Mouse (I believe they had to change the name, because of licensing.)
I think I’m going to get the Trackpad.
The trackpad has been causing my carpal tunnel to flair as of lately. I'm stuck using an ergonomic mouse and bending my wrist as little as possible.
Mine was a MacPro ... it was an absolute beast and got replaced with a 27 iMac in 2017...
how do you like the trackpad on your MBP compared to the mouse on your iMac? That should help answer if you're going to like the trackpad...
The trackpad is more versatile, I think.
All of the gestures, you actually forget it’s there, if you know what I mean?
Steve Jobs used to say that good design removes the “barrier” between the user and the product. I’m paraphrasing, but you know what he meant.
The Mac Pro was a beautiful machine.
I loved my iMac, and it actually got me into photography.
Same here - had to go MX Vertical and now the Logitech Lift (much smaller - but keeps my wrist happy).
I was much more of a fan of the Trackpad vs the Apple Mouse.
I have both in use. I mostly use the trackpad, let's say 90-95% of the time. Only for some things I find the mouse more convinient for some reason.
But I think the trackpad is the number 1 accessorie for a mac. Great product.
