Is anyone here using Magic Trackpad for work? or rather for a longer periods of time? Not necessarily with a hand over it whole 8 hours, but around 50% of that time.
I’m using a trackball right now and am considering a trackpad for my left hand. At first I would want to replace the trackball/mouse with a trackpad to put relief on my right hand, but I’m also considering using both.
What are your opinions on using the trackpad alone? (I do love it on my macbook, but during my work it’s mostly in clamshell) and what are your opinions on using a trackpad on one side and mouse on the other? is it a bit too much?
Edit: so, I bought it, probably not many will see this edit, but the same will be with comment.
Bought and no regrets, it feels really great for daily use. However I am using it with a mouse on the other side. Im left handed, so trackpad on left feels more natural and mouse on the right is useful in some cases.
I used both a Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad and much prefer the trackpad. I can’t work with multitouch gestures, and I’ve never had any wrist pain after using it all day.
