So, I move the trackstick (with one hand), and hold the CTRL-button with another hand, now how do I click the mouse button? This is much easier with double-click, trust me. And another one, try select-all when changing windows. In double-click, you can click to focus, and CTRL-A, which you can't do in single-click.
