There's a lot more to the modern DSO than just the signal path to the display.

Intuitive UI and menus
Feature set and the most important of all, the triggering capability.

None of this matters if there is no knobs.  :box:

SDS6000L models have none yet are easy to operate with a mouse, easier again if one is already familiar with the same UI and menu structure used in most of Siglents other DSO's.

If you need a mouse to drive a touchscreen DSO, then there is something seriously wrong with the UI design. A properly implemented touchscreen UI is better (as in more effective and comfortable) compared to using a mouse.

While I tend to agree, there's also some truth that trackballs bugger your thumbs, mice bugger your wrists, and lightpens/touchscreens bugger your shoulders[1].

So, choose your poison :)

[1] Lightpens were popular before mice. They fell out of favour for good reason.

Personally my quibble would be with...

A mouse to operate a scope? Do not miss apointments with you psychiatrist, folks.
