- The author has not used an external mouse since 2012, relying on Mac trackpads.
- Mac trackpad precision is highly praised, especially for web and graphic design work.
- Dragging objects traditionally requires force, which can be uncomfortable over time.
- Three fingers drag is a feature that allows dragging without much force by using three fingers.
- Tap to click can be enabled to use the trackpad without physically clicking it.
- Three fingers drag is now hidden in accessibility settings: System Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad Options > Dragging style.
- The author compares Mac trackpads favorably to Windows laptop touchpads, which often require external mice.
