Surprisingly, Logitech's MX Master and Apple's trackpads come out equal.

Plus, there are many more examples of keyboard shortcuts on the Mac for navigation to boost your productivity. Though this isn't on the trackpad itself, MacBook users may notice that all these keys are right next to each other. For example, you can easily switch tabs with Option + Command + Left/Right on the arrow keys. Moreover, almost any feature you can program into the MX Master is easily usable with a trackpad or keyboard shortcuts. I also bought it "slightly used" just in case I didn't like it, I didn't waste too much cash.The MX Master's horizontal scroll wheel is handy, especially with its programmability, but scrolling horizontally on a trackpad feels much more natural than scrolling with your thumb. So wish me luck as my usage is lighter than yours. I've also just bought a Trackpad to play with. There are loads of great productivity mice for right handers. I'm left handed so my choices are limited though. When you invert the mouse scrolling it also does the the swiping (left right) and you can't change the 2 independently. And you can only do this through terminal commands.ĭefaults write -g 10 (replace 10 with a higher and higher number until you find the sweet spot)ĭefaults read -g (will show what its set to - 5 is the max you can set in the GUI)Īlso (Apple some crazy stuff). BUT I have 2 monitors and you HAVE to ramp the mouse speed up VERY high. Currently I've stolen the Magic Mouse from the Mrs and for light use it's pretty good. However I started low and bought the Mini. I should also mention that I can't use a mouse anymore day in and day out, the movement of the entire arm is causing a pinched nerve in my back/rib which is the whole reason why I switched to a trackball in the first place. Does anyone use both a mouse and trackpad? While its pretty expensive for just basic use like that its already bought and paid for. Im curious though what does everyone else do? Also I suppose since I already own the trackpad I can just set it up next to the mouse and use it primarily for gestures.
So I guess the solution is to use keyboard shortcuts for the gestures? the main Gestures I use are forward and back, app expose, mission control and left or right to switch between virtual desktops. The trackballs only offer four buttons or so, hardly enough to remap the gestures. Everything said I lose all the gestures from the trackpad. I just purchased a Kensington trackball which it supposed to more accurate and better for larger screens, though it uses the fingers instead of the thumb for the movement so I guess ill see how that works. Ive setup my old Logitech M570 trackball with the Mac and while everything works well im using a 4K monitor so moving around the screen real estate is bit challenging at times. At any rate I suspect the issue for me with the trackpad is constantly trying to hover my fingers when not in use over the trackpad, it causes excessive fatigue on the knuckle joints. Im noticing that when I practise my guitar my fingers are already fatigued before I even start, unless its my imagination but I suspect not. I also play flamenco guitar for an hour in the evening which is very taxing on the fingers due to the speed. It seems that hovering my other fingers aswell over the trackpad with far less use proves challenging. At first I loved it but now that I've been using it for a few weeks im finding that the 8+ hours a day of use it gets, im starting to get fatigue in my fingers and especialy my middle finger since its my primary pointing finger on the trackpad. Hey Guys, just got a Mac studio (Switched from windows) and the only input device I have is the Magic Trackpad.
