Hey, just curious, what's everybody's favored pointing device? (Mouse, trackball, touchscreen, stylus, etc.) I know lots of programmers are big on track balls, but wanted to get a poll. As for me, I feel best with a Wacom digitizer and stylus. Right now I use the Bamboo Pen at work and the Intuos 4 small size at home. I like this because it's much more precise than a mouse or trackball, with natural 1:1 movement. What do you all use?

I prefer a trackball, though most of the guys at work just use a mouse.

I use a mouse over 90% of the time in school etc, but I have a trackball mouse for use at home
