THIS is why I've never used mouse pads.  Set the mouse so you don't have 
to pick up the mouse and move it back so you can continue moving the 
cursor in the same direction and it isn't precise enough to actually 
place the cursor ON a virtual button or point.  Set it so you can 
actually "press" on the required spot and you are doing a 3D loop with 
your wrist the move the cursor TO that spot.  And that was with a single 
monitor!
