Whe I use my Mac I only ever use the track pad, it's amazing.

I'm a software developer and I'll still only use the track pad when working at my desk with my monitors.

Still need a mouse for gaming though on the gaming PC.

You mean an external one right? Or are you using a laptop track pad all day with multiple monitors?

Using the laptops track pad and multiple monitors (2 external + macbook)

I find short of the mythical programmer who never uses a mouse because they they know 100% of the hotkeys, it let's me keep my hands closer to the keyboard so I can move around and type quicker than going back and forth to the mouse.

The workflow is much less disruptive.
