No?

The worst (I'm ready for the flames!) is the "nipple" mouse built in the keyboard, just impossible to use.

I have used the vertical mouse horror, and to be fair, it does alleviate almost all carpal tunnel syndroms so if I had to chose I'd take that one.

Between the trackpad and the nipple, definitely the nipple.

It took so long for me to get half as good at the trackpad (after increasing its speed in the settings) as the nipple (with which I even managed to play Quake III (Old ThinkPad)). And this is saying as someone who can't use the gamepads.

Of course mouse is best though. Never tried a vertical for long enough and fixed my carpal tunnel onset by just being more physically active.
