Asking to anyone with experience with this disease. Is the Magic Trackpad by Apple good enough to avoid this problem or is it something anti ergonomic at beast?

After using the magic trackpad for 8 months exclusively, I'm now just using it to augment a Logitech MX Master in certain situations. Though most of my "cut-n-paste" text work is done via the keyboard in the editor, I need a pointing device to select text in terminal windows. I've found that it's difficult to do precise selection with the magic trackpad. Of course, I eventually get it done, but it requires much more fumbling around than it does with a mouse - at least with my muscles. At least for now, switching back and forth between the two devices is cool.
