Seriously, they ALL fucking suck. I honestly kinda miss the old nub thingie that IBM (now Lenovo) had (has?). It took some getting used to but it was so much better than a touch pad.

The old clit mouse was my favorite!

They still have them, along with some Dell and HP laptops too I think. Honestly I like both. My laptop has that and I find myself switching between them mindlessly. Touch pad is great because of gestures. But the nub is more comfortable imo.

One of my old laptops had the little nub mouse, but it would rub my finger tips raw if I used it too much, from the grippy texture on it
