it would be useful for radio stations, We've got a trackerball at our station, but you still hear it clicking if you listen carefully

I'd go for a good trackpad, set up to tap for left click, two fingered tap for right click... And if you don't get on with navigating by trackpad, I'd use a mouse for that, and use the trackpad as a huge but silent mouse button.

Indeed... funny what things people can find and respond to when they have a link to promote... but it's a useful thread with useful recommendation, nonetheless.

Alternatively, don't use a mouse...

Well I've gotta thank thushara25 anyways - this gotta be one of the funniest thread I've read in years on SOS.
I wonder if comradec's partnership is still going strong or not..

I have one of theses: https://www.johnlewis.com/microsoft-all ... lsrc=aw.ds
Got mine ages ago from Sainsburys, uses two AAA cells which apparently last for ever. Comes with a tiny dongle.
I got mine to replace a wired kbd and mouse for a computer in my living room. The trackpad does not 'click' as such but makes a very quiet, dull thud. Quieter even than the buttons on my HP laptop.

To be fair, there's only one thing that annoys me more than necroposting, and that's clicky mice. I was rummaging through a box of them in my office the other day trying to find the quietest one, but they're all rubbish. I'm really surprised no-one has come up with a good cheap one.

Oo! I don't know? SOME people take great pleasure in pointing out that one of us has been 'fooled'. They probably don't get out much?
