I wonder if this is more common among Linux users. If an application has good keyboard support, I’m ALL over that instead of using a mouse. That’s one reason web applications really annoy me, they usually have terrible keyboard support, or the browser shortcuts interfere.

Maybe detest is too strong a word. More like I prefer to avoid it if at all possible (unless it’s something like CAD or most gaming where the mouse is basically essential)

    Kensington TB550 thumb trackball for any pointy/clicky stuff, keyboard otherwise.

    I don’t like a real mouse, and haven’t for decades.

    I got my first thumb trackball in the 1990s when I didn’t have a big enough desk to use a mouse. It was a Logitech Trackman Marble.

    Then I got a Marble Wheel. Then the cordless one, then the M570 that replaced it.

    But Logitech build quality has really went into the shitter, and after a warranty replacement, and then having to buy another replacement, I tried a couple of different thumb trackballs before settling on my Kensington one.

    The ProtoArc EM01 I have is also nice, but I like the feel of the Kensington better.
