What's the best input device? You have the following options:
>Mouse
>Trackpad
>Trackpoint
>Trackball
There can only be one.

Trackball but not a shitty trackball mouse you control with your thumb.

If using OSX, I feel the Apple trackpad trackpad needs to be present no matter what.
For Windows, give me a mouse unless you want to be strangled.
Mouse is most useful for all applications.
Mouse, no question.
I only use the trackpoint on my computer because it doesn't have a trackpad.
Mouse >>>>> trackpad >>>>>>> everything else
Apple trackpad > any mouse
>What's the best input device
Touchscreen
keyboard
it depends
Trackball or digitizer. Mice and touchpads for special ed. Clitmouse for laptops.
Assuming pointing input devices, of course
Trackball, trackpoint ... touchpad .....................mouse.
Mouse is just shit because you have to move your fucking arm while fingers are more precise and you need less space for anything that's not a mouse

>digitizer
Do you mean drawing tablets? They are great for Osu! ... and, you know, drawing, but the requirement of a pen makes them pretty awful if you need to use the kb or anything.

>What's the best input device?
It depends. For desktops/laptops it's a keyboard. For tablets/smartphones its a touch screen.
>>51478395
but their trackpad is literally the same as all the other trackpads now
>>51478098
i vote for pen/digitizer
nothing else comes close

tell us about this wonderful alternate reality you live in.
Even the few that track relatively well, aren't as good without OSX's gestures.
>>51479046
when was the last time you used a touchpad?
pretty much all 2013+ ultrabooks have had the same precision and feel and even look of mac trackpads, and as of w10 release they have the same gestures too

probably a few weeks ago bumming around at BestBuy. I'll try some out a bit more thoroughly next time i'm there i guess. i would be thrilled for the era of awful trackpads and trackpad software to be over.
>>51478395
I love the trackpad but I feel like I need both. When I'm on the mouse I miss the gestures and when I'm on the trackpad I miss the speed and precision. Still the touch magic mouse is fucking great.
Trackball.
This one, to be more specific
>>51478098
touchscreen
>>51478098
clit mouse is the best

Whoa haha better give you a mouse then lol

>onscreen keyboard
I've actually done this when my SP2's power cover dies on me.
Depends on what you're doing. If you're gaming or doing graphics work (without a drawing tablet), a mouse is your best bet, other than that I'm a big trackpad fan, as long as it's not shit. Trackpoint is decent enough, but a trackpad with good gestures is way better.
someone did a study on accuracy, precision, speed, etc... and found that apple trackpads performed about as well as a desktop mouse. trackpoints were more accurate but slower, and non-apple trackpads were pretty much the worst.
i don't know anything about trackball performance. i think they didn't get enough data.

Mouse forever. Specifically my deathadder 2013 which still in perfect condition.
>>51478098
Trackball.
>>51478098
Specifically this one.
>>51484759
For real though, it's useful mouse in general.
slow down dpi click, high speed dpi switch, 2 macros, 3 function scroll wheel, and decent ball.
>>51479240
You're actually incorrect
>>51480744
This hurts so much

A good highly sensitive wireless laser mouse is a must. Apple's trackpad is in 2nd place for me, though it really sucks if your using it to control a 3d camera or play an fps.

Fuck man, I'm too poor for this shit. Mice are supposed to be cheap.
