The mouse pad is transparent and is easy to turn off. I can also use magnifier and move magnifier with mouse pad.

If anybody wants to edit on a small screen (crazy idea) then add a mouse and usb dongle. Becomes very easy at that point, apart fro the screen size.

I edit on a Android box using 55inch screen with mouse and keyboard. I have no issues, can even use junction nodes if i choose to..
