It's not just "switchers" that complain about this stuff. If there is one thing Apple can't get right, it's mouse input.

The input lag is one thing. What about the actual hardware? Remember the hockey puck? The pro mouse? The mighty mouse?

There is a joke somewhere in there... maybe about Jobs having to "invent" multi-touch because he couldn't grock the concept of a mouse.

Apple has the worlds most terrible mouse product designs, but if there is one thing they got right it was the touchpads. I will not be purchasing a Windows laptop until I can get one with the exact same touchpad with the exact same surface and feeling to it. I've spent countless hours with my Mac and just the touchpad, I wouldn't even dream of doing the same with my Lenovo IdeaPad or any other laptop I have played with to date.

The hockey puck was a miserable failure. Other than that, there's no problem with Apple input devices.

In particular, the multi-touch trackpads are the meow part of the cat.
