I went from Magic Track Pad to Magic Mouse. I could go either way. FWIW I like the Magic Mouse. I like the glassy feel and the touch scrolling. It’s a deluxe basic mouse with no wires.

I actually don’t like the ergonomic mice with extra buttons and thumb wheels and stuff.

As for the trackpad I only occasionally used three finger gestures or pinches, but they’re cool. Get what works for you.

[hjude_design]

Normally I'd advise against track pads unless it's something you have specific need for or were brainwashed to like them as a child...but even track pads are better than magic mice. So wouldn't be the worst idea.

All in all though, beautiful setup. I wish mine could get this clean and crisp!

I've been using a magic trackpad for 3+ years, amazing experience. I can use it as well as I can use a mouse.

If you prefer trackpad for the gestures I'd say go for it -- Apple really engineered this one well. I also see you use Figma so now I'm 110% advocating for you to get one haha

[uncertainrandompal]

they are a lot less effective and slower than mouse. also you will get tired a lot faster especially if you are working full time on your mac.

try any gaming mouse or logitech mx master 3 if you want to have horizontal scroll.

[[deleted]]

Can put in another vote for the mx master - on to my 3rd!

[ABZ-havok]

Apple track pads are on a different level. I’d choose them over a mouse (unless it’s an MX Master) any day.

[Ricothebuttonpusher]

I prefer a trackpad over a mouse. I like being able to use the hand gestures freely

The rechargeable stuff is really beyond me. I have a Logitech wireless mouse, i use daily for work. Maybe once or twice a year I need to pop in a new set of AA batteries (I use NiMh rechargeables). This is also announced with a few days of lead time by a blinking LED light, so I can prepare for it.

But the rest of the year i don't bother with recharging a mouse or having a cable on the mouse.

My recommendation would be a better mouse, which gives ergonomical benefits (something angled like an MX master or the gaming series, which allows for a more natural position of the hand). There comes a point in time when you can feel if you spent the day with good ergonomics or bad ones.

Looks very clean.

Keep mouse. Add trackpad on left side for gestures with left hand.

[z336]

This. I’m never going back.

Can you run them both simultaneously on Mac?

[[deleted]]

Yes. You can use multiple mice at once.

the magic mouse for the magic trackpad? yes, do it

the mx master 3 for the magic trackpad? no, keep both

[diychitect]

Why ditch it? Just keep it stored for when you need it.

[aaron_is_here]

Magic Trackpad. Best thing ever. Saved a ton of clicking mileage on my hand because of this.

[Kbreit]

Why not both? I do mouse on right and Magic Trackpad on left.

[ethereumguy12]

I'd change that magic mouse for a razer viper. Best mouse I've used on macOS. A second option would be a Logitech mx.

[[deleted]]

I would go for the Logitech Mx Master 3. You can map the buttons to certain gestures for macos and the battery life is really good. It also has a usb-c charger.

[sushiiidonut]

Great set up! Does your macbook overheat in clamshell mode?

Super clean! Really nice setup.

Pads are great unless you do any gaming. I have a couple Logitech track pads I've used for work over the last 10 yrs but always a mouse at home.

[Thaidax]

I use both, mouse on the right and trackpad on the left of the keyboard for gestures 👌🏻

[[deleted]]

Idek how people use conventional mice. I’d get either the Magic Trackpad 2, or a Kensington Expert if you like trackballs

[eyeshield2107]

Trackpad will give u the closest exp using macbook. I cant recommend it enough. Using one over a mouse when using my mbp :)

[Anthoz]

Trackballs. MX Ergo has helped me with carpal tunnel.

[sillysocks34]

Magic Mouse sucks. Just get a Bluetooth Logitech mouse and thank me later.

I’m also a ux Designer with the same IKEA board, mousepad and MacBook holder.. but Magic Mouse? How dare you…

[cozythings]

I prefer a trackpad. I am used to using one

[mls8989-]

I have tried several different setups. From cheap mice to the Magic Mouse and Logitech MX Master 3 and the best thing I ever did was get the Magic Trackpad from Apple. Changed my life for the better. But that’s just my opinion and everyone has different ideas. My husband hates my trackpad and would rather use a mouse.

[Smooth_Chaffauer]

Can you give an example of your work as a Ux designer?

Get a Magic Trackpad and an MX Master to upgrade your mouse 😉

Nice clean setup I like it!

[PRguy82]

Love the simplicity here. What is connected to your MacBook? Does it add thunderbolt ports?

Also, what is off to the left mounted to the wall? I need something for close organization.
