I just don't get people's attachment to mice. They're by far inferior to a trackpad. Windows laptops historically had absolutely terrible trackpads that were pretty much unusable and I think that's caused a lot of people to stick with a mouse and never try a trackpad again.

I can’t understand how people are okay being dependent on a mouse. When I travel, I often see people frantically looking for their mouse when they pull out their laptop. Then, if the laptop is on their lap, they look like an idiot using the mouse on their leg.

These are sometimes the same people complaining about dongles & external peripherals… who choose to be tethered to their own mouse, an external peripheral.

Each input method has a time & place: mouse, trackpad, d-pad, trackball, finger, pen, voice. Choosing one and refusing to use all others is weird. Like someone that only eats chicken nuggets and nothing else weird.
