I've always used a single laptop, but I'm thinking about getting a second monitor and then I'd have to buy a keyboard and mouse to use with it.
But I had the thought:
Aren't external mice that aren't touchpads slower to use?
Imagine you're typing on your keyboard and then have to click on something on the screen. You have to then take your hand off the keyboard, put it on the mouse next to the keyboard, and then move the mouse and click, and bring your hand back to the keyboard.
That seems pretty slow to me and seems like it would slow your efficiency.
Now the alternative:
You use one of those keyboards with a touchpad built in.
So imagine you're typing on your keyboard and then have to click on something on the screen. You then can just move your thumb downwards to move the mouse and can then click with just your thumb as well. You can then immediately reposition your hand slightly so your hand is back to normal on the keyboard.
This seems far more efficient to me, but it seems like people everywhere use keyboards and then an external mouse.
Thoughts?
