Mouse...Or Touchpad?

Post by KEY » 09 Jan 2017, 16:22

When you play CM, do you prefer to use a mouse and middle clicking?...
...Or do you prefer to use something akin to a laptop touchpad and shift clicking?

I've noticed both styles have their advantages and disadvantages.
I prefer a touchpad myself.

I used touchpad for some time but mouse is superior.

Playing alien is impossible without a mouse and it's m3 capabilities

The only thing my trackpad ever does is sometimes make me accidentally fire my buckshot off when my thumb brushes against it.

Shift-clicking would like a word with you.

Mouse. What kind of higher being are you, to use a touch pad, successfully I might add?

This made me accidentally shoot so much on TTT that I now keep my touchpad disabled by default.

Why use a touchpad when with mouse you can shift-click and m3 to do different things, clearly mouse is master race.
