    We have a wireless mouse with our laptop. Most of the time we use it sitting at a table anyway but sometimes I sit on the couch with it and just keep the mouse resting on a magazine or something in place of a mousemat. It is 100 times better than trying to use the tracker pad thing.

    I'm another on the sofa with my wireless mouse on the arm. Works well for me!

    I use a Logitech wireless mouse with my laptop. I find it so much easier and quicker than the touchpad. If I'm sat on the sofa, I'll just put a book on the arm and use it as a mousepad. :D

    Wireless mouse for me too - or corded, because I'm always at the table anyway. I hate the touchpad, I find it so fiddly.
  • I have a wired mouse for my laptop. I really struggle using the touchpad for any length of time, I find it more fiddly especially with highlighting and copy and paste tasks.
