I dont like using a mouse to navigate - after 467246278 gazzilion clicks ive got a slight repetitive strain and prefer to navigate with keyboard

I like using touchpad on my lappy and touch screen on my tablet & phone

Im thinking about buying a touchpad to use with my desktop

Did a quick google and what do you know - since Windows 8 (touch screen) has l;anded everyone is buying touchpads to use with Windows 8 (non-touch screen)

Couple I seen on Amazon have very mixed reviews - some of which talk about poor battery life, and even worse - Lag!!!

Im thinking why does a touchpad need to be wireless (run on batteries)? - my laptop dont - my keyboard dont - only thing needs wireless is my mouse, and that last for months on one charge

So im 'ideally' looking for one that just plugs into a USB (never needs batteries changing & no lag) - decent size, cheap as chips - use it in tandem with my mouse, when and if i want

Anyone recommend a touchpad?

Anyone else using one?
