Work with Trackpad on MacBook?

Hello. I'm currently learning with onshape, get along better than with freeCAD. What still bothers me is that I can't even work quickly with the trackpad of the MacBook. But don't use a mouse on the go. How can I still move the models?

Trackpad isn't ideal (on any laptop) but with a little practice it works for small tasks on the go. I recommend a space mouse. There are compact wireless mobile types available.
One way to move the model is the arrow keys to rotate and pan. Arrow alone makes small rotaing moves. Shift-Arrow makes larger moves, CTRL-Arrow makes super small moves. CTRL-SHIFT-Arrow pans. Zoom should be rather easy on the track pad.
