Yeah. I'm not a fan of touchpads either. And I'm really not a fan of my corded mouse. The cord is constantly tugging or tangled or something. So I bought a wireless one and I love it.

Thankfully my office doesn't care if I plug in a non-office mouse as long as I buy my own batteries. My old job would not have allowed it. Then again ... my mouse at my old job had a rollerball in it instead of a laser ... tech was a bit behind the times there.
