The CLVX 1 essentially replaces a dedicated mouse. Imagine you are typing and suddenly need to use a mouse; it is much easier to use the CLVX 1 without taking your hand off the keyboard. The choice is up to you; however, extensive practice has shown that CLVX 1 is quicker by a margin. If you’re working in a professional application or software that requires the use of a mouse (like CAD or design software), you can set up the CLVX 1 touchpad and Touch Sliders for left-hand gestures and actions in the TouchOnKeys app, which may significantly benefit your workflow.
