Any info on percent of users choosing to use a mouse, instead of a touchpad?

Do folkes really prefer touchpad over mouse?

Believe it or not, I prefer to use a touchpad. Part of this may be because I'm left-handed and most computer mice are designed for right-handed people. It also depends on the touchpad. My notebook has a very nice touchpad, while some others I've used have touchpads that are way too sticky or just don't feel right.

THe default settings on the Toucpad on the HP dv9843cl are very unsatisfactory.

I am wasting an enormous amout of time using the Touchpad.
I'll try changing the settings.

A mouse would be useful when I use the notebook on a table next to my desktop.
Not sure how I'd use a mouse whilst sitting in a Lazy Boy chair.

I just perused the Logitech site.
They have several mice that will work for leftys.

wow. Mouse > Touchpad, but of course if you're in a situation where you can't use a mouse, a touchpad is a great second option.

I "third" steve and drlouis... touchpad is there to use when you have no choice.

You should have included a "trackball" option... I wonder how many people would vote for it.
