Yeah it does take a little practie - But once you settel in theres no turning back - I have mouse pointer speed set to max [Mac] an I could still go a little faster ---

 

That looks like a really cozy set up you got there - If your running Logic X I could move right in - Start rolling the DnB ---

 

With the risk of having everyone here laughing their knobs and faders off at my noobidity i dare ask: is anyone else, anyone at all just using their trackpad (on mac)?

i got used with not using a mouse and now reading about all of you much experienced fellows here i'm thinking i might be missing on a lot of effectiveness.

 

ahhh ye olde korg padkontrol.. we have the same kolor... !! but what is the brown tin to the side..?. keep your
youtube production shortbread cookies in there??

 

Yeah, ye olde PadKontrol. Still works great.

Hehe, no I don't keep my cookies in there. It's my monome. Tasty in another way. Here it is up-close:

 

ohhh yes.. of course.. your monome.... how silly of me

excuse my ignorance.. but.. erm.. what the hell is a monome ?

You don't know what's a monome? lol

NOOB!

 

I prefer the trackpad over a mouse. On my desktop, I use a Wacom Bamboo digital drawing tablet along with the mouse. I like the more tactile experience.

I got heavy pain in my thumb after using one of those Logitech Trackballs for a longer time.

The best Mouse I have ever used so far is a Logitech G502. Perfect fit for my Fingertip/Claw Grip
And I love the hevey Metal Mouse wheel.

 

I tried the MagicMouse and I don't liked it at all. It felt heavy like a brick and is so less precise than other mice.

 

If you guys not already know, here are 2 great tools to make scrolling smooth with a normal mouse under OS X and Windows:

OSX:

Windows:

for me its...



I'm sure the track ball is great, but even better when most simple tasks don't require the mouse at all

 

I really like Logitech mice. Worst mouse I've ever used it Apple Magic mouse as it eats batteries like no other!

 

looks nice ..

 

Hold left button down and spin the ball ---

 

yes, i only use trackpad. i have a portable studio, and don't want to carry around a mouse with me. i doubt i could even fit a mouse into my gear bag. the tables i put my gear on are usually stacked with other peoples gear, so there's no room for a mouse anyway.

touch screen.... that could be cool for some things, like sound design, mixing, and reactable but i think it would be too inefficient overall. imagine having a 50'' touch screen, and reaching 3' just to press a single button- no thank you.

i also have a push 2. for the most part, navigating my library with that is inefficient too, except for adding audio & midi effects

 

I still have and use this. Nothing best for me. (But mine has scroll wheel)

 

For me it's...............

No repetative strain injuries, no eye strain, and no distractions.

 

Aren't those the best bit of equipment ever for making music?

 

No I'd say this is

Also those mice (?) look fugly, I like my simple, tiny Asus mouse just fine.
