You're not - i have a split keyboard with touchpad built in to the wrist-rest that i LOVE.

That said, there definitely can be a learning curve. Also, the first time i used a touchpad i HATED it. Loathed deeply, couldn't understand why anyone would bother. Then ended up 'stuck' with one (long story), but it wasn't quite as bad as the first...
Then i found the preference settings. Adjusted the sensitivity/etc a bit, played, retweaked. Wow - big difference. The rest was getting used to it.
Those pencil-eraser style? Never did manage to make those tolerable.

**all of the above MY opinion/experience. YMMV, etc. Seriously tho - check for settings options & tweak to your style. May still not make it something you like, but could help take the edge off**

Funny - I the one I used on my desktop was also on a split keyboard - in the wrist rest :)
