I find it amusingly curious when people have laptops and carry a usb/wireless mouse along.

It's like owning a hummer h1 and mounting it with 17" asphalt tires because you're used to their grip...

I have a laptop stand to put my laptop on, a remote keyboard and a wireless mouse

Fight me

What's wrong with that? If you have a desk to put the laptop on, you're not bound to use the trackpad/trackpoint or the built-in keyboard.

Depends on the laptop's touchpad. Modern ones are pretty good, some others are more useful switched off.

I travel with a MacBook, external keyboard and an external magic trackpad. I am just the worst 😿

Objectively though, most trackpads absolutely suck, and few laptops are friendly for Vi bindings.

I avoid using the touchpad at all costs

@JhonDoe why?

I'm curious because I always prefer a touchpad over a mouse. It's tidier, neater, portable, more stable and more functional. For work ofc, not gaming.

@netikras it's a matter of customs, I feel more comfortable using mouse for working in ma laptop than touchepad. I find it to be more quickly to use.

There's that, also the fact when I worked at an office I had a desktop, so whenever I came home and started using my laptop I felt something off/sluggish, hence I got that custom

I use mouse and set it to disable pad when mouse is connected. Otherwise I hit the pad when trying to type and move my cursor half way up the document or into another window. Pads suck.

I dislike touchpads, though I must admit the Apple touchpads are actually quite nice. And sadly required for navigating OSX.

Generally I just don't use the mouse cursor at all.

I'm partial to the thinkpad clit for mouse pointer manipulation.
No need to move away from home row. It's great.

Good luck playing video games with touchpad

The touchpad is a last resort, just like letting air out of the tires of your hummer to get through the sandy/soft terrain.
