While trackpads are most commonly associated with laptops, they can be used with regular computers as well. In fact, some people may enjoy using a trackpad more than a mouse. Trackpads can give you a more streamlined and fluid experience when using your computer, without forcing you to strain your wrist like mouses usually do.
A trackpad can add a level of comfort and convenience when you work. It can also support multi-touch gestures and shortcuts, making it easier and more efficient to do your regular tasks. Interested? Here are some convenient, ergonomic, and sleek trackpads for Mac and PC you can buy.
