External mouse? What about keyboard, which I've heard is not curved and cumbersome?

I mainly use the trackpad, which took me about a week to get used to, as I had never used a laptop before. When I bought my Macbook, I also purchased (about $50) a wireless mouse, which now sits unused in my bag, as I actually prefer to use the trackpad and its neat, two finger scrolling feature. Using the keyboard was a bit different as well, but now it feels weird to type on anything else. They keys are raised squares and it is quite easy to type on, albeit, it may take a few days to get used to, just like anything different, I guess. Hope this helps...

You have some functionality but it is easier with a mouse. I bought two cheap wireless keyboard and mouse kits from Big Lots for 20$ each, one is connected to my docking station and big screen and the other is kept in my office.

I agree with the previous response. I use a plain vanilla keyboard with mine. The Rollermouse may help you solve your ergonomic problem without a special keyboard.

no but any mouse will do.. I wish I had gotten a touch screen because windows 8 is kind of a pain to navigate.

I agree with you about the placement of the USB ports. They get in the way when trying to use the mouse. What I did was get a wireless mouse and plug the wireless port into one of the ports on the other side of the computer and not use these ports.

You can use it with any computer that requires an EXTERNAL MOUSE only. It's so beautiful. Well worth the money.everyone that sees it loves it. I've had mine for almost 4 years and it works and looks brand new. Go for it!Linda in NJ

It comes with a USB mouse, which is used to navigate through menus. Hope this was helpful.

It's responsive however if you're going to be gaming on this you're adding an external mouse anyways.

Yes, USB port is on back. We use Logitech k400r with touchpad so we don't need mouse.

We use ours solely with a laptop. I imagine you could use a mouse as long as you do not have the surface on an angle because the ledge provided does not go from edge to edge. The mouse would slip off otherwise.

Not a problem at all. I'm not an expert, but I don't think the OS has anything to do with a keyboard/mouse...I love it...it's great to travel with!

No. I usually use an external keyboard and mouse anyway. I like the larger spaced out keys.

my computer has a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. It is convenient for me to move it. I hope it is helpful.

I haven't tried using the computer with a mouse but this computer has USB ports. I don't see why adding a mouse would be a problem.

Genius uses a USB node. I have used it up to 8 feet away from my computer. Would be great for presentations. It takes some practice to get used to the different mouse functions, but once you get used to the scrolling/air function you'll be ok.

No. Any usb mouse will work. I preferred the small mouse due to space in my school case.

It's bluetooth so pick a bluetooth mouse. If you have built-in bluetooth, you don't need any USB ports.
