Learn to use a trackpad which not only does your laptop have but is expressly designed to be the best tool for the job? Dude, seriously ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Imagine I've got it on my lap in the car! there seem to be some finger mounted things but they have 1.5m of cable and I cant see the finger mounting working in typing situations. Though I am wondering if I can 3d print something onto a bulldog clip!
