Still does not make sense to me. For me, the trackball has to rest on a solid surface that also supports my wrist. For a laptop that I actually move around with me, I only ever use the built-in touchpad.
Me too, but some people never adapt and buy a mouse.
I was introduced to trackballs in 1965 and I never liked them, especially the ones where there's a small ball for the thumb.
Hmm, I guess we're still vaguely on-topic :-) Myself, I switched to trackball in the late 90s and I use left or right hand. I think it depends a lot on what you do - if it involves a lot of work with the mouse, my wrist often hurts after a long day. I've never had that with the trackball.
I don't like touchpads either.
I'm no big fan either, but in the situations where I use the laptop, I usually don't want to faff with the mouse or I don't have the space for one, e.g. working whilst riding a train.
