Maybe it's time you switch to a trackball.

Have you tried a trackball? (like the Logitech MX Ergo)

Try using one of those Gyration mice. That's what I do anyway.

Honestly the clit mouse probably works better than both trackpads.

They can't afford more mouse buttons?

Switch to a track ball, mouse is bad for your wrist.

Same on the wrist. I have one of those mice with a trackball on top that you use by running your hand over it. Absolute game changer and not at all difficult to work (probably even more sensitive tbh).

There are plenty of touch mice.

Get a mouse with an unlockable scroll wheel like the G502 and it works fine.

Have you considered a trackball?
