>> Trackpad gesture require a ... trackpad, and trackpad are worst than a mouse.
> For values of "trackpad" not manufactured by Apple. General consensus seems to be that Apple's Magic Trackpad is God's own input device, which has rendered mice forever obsolete.
Apple fan boy spotted !
I use to carry a mouse with my Macbook for long coding session.
Don't get me wrong Apple trackpad are really good, but the hand position on any trackpad isn't great.
They try to replace the keyboard and the mouse for more than a decade now, and the only thing they have done is to improve the keyboard and the mouse, or make it worst.
I mainly use a workstation on a large desk in an office. If you use your laptop everywhere, on small table, desk, knee, trackpad are great because a mouse is basically unusable. But on a desk with plenty of space ?
Also, from a medical point of view, I think a mouse is better than a trackpad. But I m not an expert in that field.
