Memorex Optical mouse! Cool!

Mouse at work. Touchpad at home. Nub never (who can use that thing anyway?)

Wireless Mouse.....

Amazingly enough it works up to 20 feet away from the laptop

Lenovo thinkpad nub... works well and lets me keep fingers on keyboard.

Other laptop makers produce inferior nubs. As such, I was always a trackpad/mouse guy before.

I can't stand anything but a mouse.

I use that, it's USB and wireless, the mouse is small but fits in your hand, runs on one AA battery and is tiny enough to easily fit in your laptop bag. I work in IT so I have to deal with a LOT of different laptops, this thing uses a native driver that's in windows, so I can just plug and go.

Mice are nice.

Nubs suck.

Touchpads also suck - too many errant clicks.

Agree, the touchpad is one of the worst inventions ever.

Carpal-tunnel anyone?

I use that too, and love it. Sometimes when the USB receiver gets bumped and it has to be reconnected its kinda annoying, but other than that, it works great.

Er, nub. I use a mouse if I'm going to be working on the laptop for an extended period of time.

I'll attest that the IBM/Lenovo nub is the king of all nubs. All other nubs are worthless. I hated track pads w/ a passion but the one in my MacBook is very useable mostly cause its huge. I got a bluetooth mouse and it works great, too.
