Magic Trackpad for work? Good, Bad or Fine? (programming.dev)

Is anyone here using Magic Trackpad for work? or rather for a longer periods of time? Not necessarily with a hand over it whole 8 hours, but around 50% of that time.

I’m using a trackball right now and am considering a trackpad for my left hand. At first I would want to replace the trackball/mouse with a trackpad to put relief on my right hand, but I’m also considering using both.

What are your opinions on using the trackpad alone? (I do love it on my macbook, but during my work it’s mostly in clamshell) and what are your opinions on using a trackpad on one side and mouse on the other? is it a bit too much?

Exactly how I roll. The only problem I have with an MX split is the difference in highly between keyboard and trackpad. With choc switches it’s perfect. Think I might 3DP a riser for when I’m using MX.

I love using the Magic Trackpad as my main driver.
