I just use an external USB wired mouse, I hate the trackpad too.
Problem is around here anyway most external mice are going wireless in
terms of general availability, they eat batteries for lunch.


I used to carry a wired mouse with me. I have several old IBM (fantastic
quality) mice, and used a PS/2 to USB adapter with them. (It has to be an
"active" or "smart" adapter and not just a wired through like some
switchable mouses included.) Once I got the trackpoint, I quit carrying
and using the mouse.
