You can buy a very high quality wireless USB mouse for twenty bucks.
You don't need to borrow one. My favorite is this one: I have a bunch,
they work on any kind of mouse pad or lack thereof, the pointer is fast

Obviously you need to wait for it to come back in stock. Nowadays I
use only Blue Trace mice. Linux' mouse pointer handling is bad, but
