Scrolling back up to smash the like button automatically updates your trackpad drivers 👌
How the hell are you so underrated lmfao. I'm team both tbh, I have a mouse connected and use trackpad for gestures

Thanks!, I'm team both as well xd
Cmd-W to close tabs. And on firefox you can enable about:config option for double click to close.
Wait you can't use 3 finger taps for middle click on a Mac? Sad I use that all the time on Windows.
1:02 Most important part of the video for me was learning I could even do that.

Nice!
Mouse and trackpad together if you use programs like figma etc it is such a nice combo
You can buy standalone trackpads, or a pen tablet. You are probably pressing too hard if you manage to get friction burn, it is exactly the same as a touchscreen.

Hello, thanks! I'm using the Razer Viper Ultimate
I prefer the Macbook trackpad, but if I find myself getting finger pain from too much trackpad use, I need to start learning more keyboard shortcuts and using Vim keybinds in my browser using an extension. By the way, to close tabs in any app, Command+w. I just always keep my left thumb resting on that command key at all times.
Why only 9k subs, my homie should have at least million sub, I like his satire and sarcasm in the video.😊

You can learn the shortcuts, press command w to close windows
4:32 That's mainly Adobe's fault, not Apple's. Adobe's apps have an underwhelming UI and UX, especially when using a trackpad as a primary pointing device. Alternatives like Final Cut Pro, Affinity Photo, Pixelmator Pro work great with it.
I work a lot with SQL (on windows) and forcing myself to use a lot of keyboard shortcuts..it's always annoying to use the mouse - since you have to - when you have both hands on your kb - so, I'll give the track pad a try. Edit: This comment was before the video - and literally in the first seconds of the video😂
2:42 why the apple icon is so weird??

I'm a MacBook Pro user and I still use a mouse! I hate using a trackpad, even if I am using a Mac! I'm also left-handed but I use a mouse (or trackpad when I do happen to use one) right-handed!

This question won't bother anyone after watching this video.
Windows touchscreen entered the chat.
Even if I was thrown a Windows laptop by someone, I could never use Windows. Because I don’t like to perform Hackintosh, my only option is to go the Linux route. I mostly use macOS, but that is because I have actual Macs and not Hackintoshes.
congrats you made me want a mac

Well depends on what you need and on the budget. I would go with m1 air 16 gb ram to be safe for long term and if you don't really need to do anything super intensive.

Damn buddy you just think like me lol, I also keep using both things, But yes using macbook in bed and sofa with Trackpad is just another level. But again mouse is fast when you do more precise work like photoshop or illustrator. By the way How do you use your razer viper with mac? With dongle or something? Which mouse software do you use with it?

Yeah I just have a USB-A to C converter - it's not the prettiest setup and it sticks out from the side but it was the best I can think of. I use 3 apps to make all the annoying stuff like mouse acceleration go away: mac mouse fix, sensible side buttons, and linear mouse. I have 2 profiles that are on board of my viper that I've set up on windows so I don't have to install synapse on mac. So whenever I connect the mouse to the mac I just switch profiles. I have macros that let me quick switch virtual desktops and open mission control.

@@bogxd so you need 'mouse software' to make sure its able to work w mac/programs? never knew this. thinking of buying a mouse
Any track pad that doesnt have external buttons is useless. The cursor gets stuck because your thumb is already on the pad. Unfortunately 95% o f all computers are like this now.
I suck at trackpad at this point because it's so slow to control than the mouse.
Instructions unclear. Bought a trackball.
amazing video, thnx!

Better than trackpad or mouse is actually learning keyboard shortcuts. That turns you into a speed productivity machine. For example, instead of middle mouse click for closing tabs, holding ctrl+w or cmd+w will close the tab. ctrl+t new tab, ctrl+tab to switch tabs, ctrl+shift+t to undo a closed tab ;)

Yess those are really good. I mostly use the middle click though to open links in new tabs which is quite annoying to do with the keyboard.

Lol, on linux you can configure any touchpad gesture in GUI via Touchegg and Touche.
I thought this was an external trackpad vs mouse review not laptop trackpad. I feel clickbaited 😂

You’re mentioning that closing tabs and opening links in new tab are major advantages of using a mouse, instead you can use keyboard shortcuts. I prefer trackpad rather than a mouse.
yeah both of them has pros and cons. for sure... macbook's trackpads are the best. windows will one will get that close. as a widows user, my touchpad is pretty good, but yeah, it' mostly the software. if you practice.. i've seen people doing crazy things with both!

Yeah but you can't do that while holding the mouse in one hand and scratching your back with the other. If you were to do this only with the mouse then you'd have a free hand to do whatever you want with it. xd
moose by far
here's the weird thing for me, I love the trackpad on the macbook pro but I hate the external trackpad! I feel the external unconformable even should be the same. I use the trackpad on the macbook pro only by 10 years, no problems.
I have a trackpad for my desktop. I find mice are more awkward to use as they don't stay in the same place and they hurt my wrist more. No friction burns with a trackpad for me.
