Article makes a bizarre assertion that a mouse is more productive than a trackpad. Anything that moves my hand from the home row reduces productivity. I can use my thumbs on the trackpad in most cases were a mouse action is absolutely required.

Well, I suppose the assertion could be true of non-apple trackpads.

If it works for you, that’s okay. I used various macbooks for over 10 years and their trackpads are great.

However, two years ago, after switching to an external keyboard (hello, butterfly keyboard…), I started using an external gaming mouse with a large gaming pad.

On a work laptop I use the magic trackpad.

The mouse is such an ergonomy upgrade. Bonus point, no more wrist problems.

The article also makes the bizarre assumption that you can't plug a mouse into a laptop, or an external keyboard, or even a docking station with all your favorite full-size accessories and multiple large monitors.
