Those who don't use it are only mildly annoyed by it, but those who use it will raise holy hell now that it's gone.

Is it actually usable? I never owned one

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Used one for a few years and I loved it:

it's precise, you can really aim small UI elements
It is paired with actual buttons, index on the nub and thumb on the buttons, so no weird gestures to right click
It is very quick to switch from keyboard to mouse, your hands nearly don't move

But, there's no mouse wheel or scroll gesture and maintaining pressure on the nub is maybe more tiring than a trackpad.
