Mouse vs. Touchscreen

Touchscreen

I prefer mouse. Touchscreen is lots of work for my hand

Touchscreen feels too sluggish when it comes to fast games, much easier to use the mouse in that case and it doesn't block any of the screen.

Mouse is faster, but it takes a while to adopt and adjust. Gotta have your settings right too. And small board.

trackpoint > trackpad > touchscreen > mouse

Playing on the phone, in mutual time scrambles I have the feeling that I would rather have a mouse... I think touchscreen is a drawback.

Anyone using a brain-machine interface?

I have 2 devices that I can play chess on. Laptop & Phone. My laptop has a wireless mouse or track pad as options.

As for ease of use, I would rate them:

1) Laptop with mouse
2) Cellphone touch pad
3) Laptop with track pad

The reason why the cellphone touch bad ranks behind the laptop mouse is because of screen size. If I were using a tablet it would probably rank #2 bumping the touchpad to #3. The mouse is good...

On the other hand! I'm assuming my mouse has a good battery in it, and the trackball is clean. With a weak battery or dirty trackball the mouse drops behind.
