Is there room for a mouse on the desk? I don't like using a touchpad.

The 'desk' area is a soft surface. It is at such an angle, that I have some difficulty keeping my pc on it. Wish the lip was a little higher. As I like using a mouse rather than the keyboard, I just 'read' on it.

It's going to be very difficult using a mouse. I hate touchpads too. When I'm using the FitDeck I read or watch TV.

You could easily fit a mouse on the desk because of how long it is. You'll have to put the mouse in front of the laptop, though, because there isn't much room on the sides.

Maybe, if you have a small computer or place the mouse pad in front of the computer. The surface of the desk measures approximately 19"L x 17.5"W, narrowing to 14.75" at the top.

It depends on the size of your laptop. I have a 17" and there is no room for the mouse.

The desk slopes a bit. With There is room for a mouse. The top is fabric covered so you might need a pad. It also slopes with a ledge which holds a book nicely.

I would say yes, if you do not have an over-sized laptop. My husband and I have 17.5 inch laptops and there is little room left. My older laptop fits with enough room for a mouse. You may just have to pick the mouse up to scroll far distances across the screen. There would not be enough room for a mouse-pad, but the material on the foam desktop is quite similar to one. I hope this answers your question. And by the way...my husband's legs are looking great now.

I don't think you would need a mouse. My son is using his keyboard with a touch screen tablet.

Yes, you can use a mouse as well as the touch screen. I don't use the touch screen a whole lot. But its nice to have some times.

You could use a regular mouse, but I would recommend using a wireless usb keyboard because the Bluetooth doesn't work all that well.FYI, When you hit the button to hide the bottom bar it causes the screen to go slightly off center and there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it.

You sure can. There's a hotkey for it. I usually keep my touchpad off when i can and use a cheap usb mouse.

I always use a mouse. The trackpad is active and it is not a bother. To answer your question, I don't know. I found the Acer tech support to be pretty good.

no, if you have a laptop with thumb pad. If you are using a desktop, you will need a mouse.

You can but the mouse pad on the computer is very easy to use. It has multiple touch functions that work just like the touchscreen.

I have a 17" laptop and there is NOT enough room to use a mouse as well on this lap desk. Were it to be a smaller laptop, perhaps, but I am not sure how easy it would be considering the lap desk is curved to allow for air movement. It might be awkward to use a mouse.

I put my mouse on top of the matching desk. There's room but not enough for me.

My laptop is the same size and there is plenty of room for the mouse. I am very pleased with it. I had purchased several laptop desks and tables before I purchased this one and I am extremely satisfied. I think you will be too.

Not really, the mouse can fit there, but there is not enough room to actually move it around.

It's just the table as you see it. When my macbook pro is on it, there is no space left for a mouse, maybe 4" of space left.

Just big enough for a keyboard. No room for a mouse, but if you raise the seat to wear your arm rest on the table, you can put the mouse on the table.

Yes. I use a wireless keyboard without 10 key (number pad) on the right side and I have a ton of room for my mouse. The mouse pad is a separate and slides into the main keyboard stand. Hope that helps.

There is not a lot of room for the mouse but yes. I have an oversize keyboard - ergonomic with ten key. But I am able to use my mouse. It's approx 24 inches

The answer is yes. I do not recommend this computer because of the touch pad. I have had 7 or 8 laptops over the years and this one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. If you are not going to use it with a mouse, you should pass on it.
