That goes for normal laptops too.

Trackpads suck. Just gone upstairs and got my mouse and WOOHOO! That is all. |

Don't have a picture of my mouse, but it must be almost the same. It's a microsoft mouse that cost me bugger all from currys a couple of years ago. I do miss the nipple on my mighty mouse, but I'm not driving to work to go and get it. |

PS, loving Ubuntu netbook remix. It's been well thought out and works brilliantly. |

I prefer the full size intellimouse Carry it round with me when I am doing 3d modelling, it's just so much easier than a trackpad, although a tablet might be better that would be even worse to carry lol |

Just looked on google and I think that's what I'm using. It's okay, but too bulky and too many buttons. All I need is one button and a nipple. For everything else, there's the command and control keys. |

I do, but don't really see the point in a bluetooth mouse. It'll use batteries and if it's further away from the machine than the cable will reach, I won't be able to see the screen! |

When I'm at work I prefer to use the IBM Nipple, as opposed to the trackpads. Obviously a full sized mouse is best, but hot desking means that the less stuff I have to carry around the better, so I vote nipples everytime! |

It's what I use too, with matching keyboard on the desktop. I like the side buttons for going back / forwards... except when you hit one by mistake, which happens too often. I did get annoyed once and turn them off, but then I got annoyed because they didn't work and turned them back on. I guess I'd prefer it if they weren't quite so easy to hit by mistake, but over all it's the most productive mouse I've ever found. |

I use a £9 m$ mouse from ebuyer. Have had it for five years and it still works fine with my laptop. But for a netbook, never bothered. |

Travel mouse thing for my netbook - I thought it would get annoying being so small, but it's not like you have much screen-space to move it across I guess

I still use IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0s on all my machines, I take one with me, although on the move, I find an old Logitech Mouseman Marble trackball is often more suitable, it can balance on the edge of the desk and doesn't need to be moved around, but is still vastly superior to any trackpad I've used - with the possible exception of the new MacBook Pro's |
