  my time with the steam controller has taught me that not all trackpads are made the same, but I guess if you are in some job/business where mouse eavesdropping could be a real issue, then I guess it would be the better option

    Forgot steam devices have trackpad. Yeah, can’t speak for the steam controller track pad, but the steam deck one is like the only exception to the rule.

  I hate the fact that Dell got rid of the track point on their higher end models. My hands get dry on occasion and then my precision’s touch pad stops responding. Besides the fact that I hate using it when it works well.

  Not for gaming, but macbook trackpads are really good. Like so fucking good that they actually make a desktop version of trackpads people seriously chose over mice even on tables.

    I wouldn’t have a clue about any of that since the last time I used a macbook was over a decade ago, so I’ll take your word for the quality.

  I do, because I travel. And someone who travels with more than just a laptop and charger is the real masochist

    Then maybe I’m a masochist because my laptop bag basically always has a little old DS bag thing where I store my USB hub and USBs, with my wireless trackball mouse always right next to it. I consider those essentials to my workflow.

        From the fact that DS is retro and my bag thing came with a DS even before DSi was out or from my essentials?

        The essentials are lightweight and barely add anything to the overall weight of my bag.

        Can’t help if the DS carrying case thing makes you feel old, if it’s that. It’s just an old thing I have from my original DS that I ended up breaking as a kid.
