Just a quick question to see what people use around here.

To clarify I mean Macs that use OS X (or earlier if you must). This excludes iPod Touches, iPhones, iPads or Newtons.

Oops.... TE you posted before I put up the poll lol!

To explain my vote; I have 3 Macs and my PM MDD I use a mouse; my TiBook I use the trackpad (I miss multitouch) and on my MBP I use a trackball and the trackpad.

i use a mighty mouse bluetooth on my mini.

i mostly use the trackpad on my macbook, but often plug a mouse to it. I will use the trackpad only when i'm traveling.

The question is flawed in that the use of a singular Mac, does not work. I have multiple Macs as well as an iPad and iPhone which require different ways of using them. That flaws the poll as well. Think before polling please.

Well I meant Mac as in Mac OS X devices.

Logitech G400 for the desktop, built-in trackpad for the laptop, and a Magic Trackpad for the TV computer.

iMac: Magic TrackPad and Mighty Mouse (some things just feel better with the mouse and my wife prefers the mouse as well, but damn I love the Magic TrackPad, so we keep both).

MBP: MightyMouse when using it at work with the BT keyboard.

i use the trackpad by apple, but to say it sucks badly when it comes to graphic designing. Nothing beats a mouse.

depends on the task I'm doing. Trackpad for the most part.. but a tablet for photoshop, and a mouse for editing - even though final cut supports multi-touch

I use a combo of a high DPI mouse, a trackball and a drawing tablet. Mostly my Steel Series version of the MS Intellimouse 3.0. Best mouse ever made IMO. A standard MS version of the mouse is great also but the SS version I have has a higher DPI so it fits well into design work.

Magic TrackPad became worth every penny with the release of Lion.
