Mousing Atop Laptop
Intro: Mousing Atop Laptop
The flat area in front of my laptop keyboard is a great mousepad.
I prefer it to any tablet, trackball, touchpad, or red button I've used.
My pals that have tried it agree that it's the best thing they've ever done, better than skydiving or getting married.
The mouse is a Micro Innovations Optical Travel Mouse PD905P I got at microcenter for $9 on sale. It has a self-retracting cord thingy. Any other small mouse would be as good. The flat cord on this one is good because it's easy to bend so it stays out of the way for typing. I just set the mouse to the right over the little speaker and the cord is out of the way.
This Toshiba laptop has a flat raised deck that's particularly good for mousing on.

Maybe it looks dumb or obvious, but I bought 5 or six trackballs, tablets, etc. before figuring out this method. It works better for me than any of the others.
Honestly?

It's better content if it's browsed. I've started putting the one-step stuff into [https://www.instructables.com/id/EFWZ9LUZ8AEUIFO10L/ Little Tricks]
I'd move this mouse gimmick there now, but you guys have contributed nice comments and I don't know how to transfer those over.
