Yes!  You really do want a hardware wallet.  Especially if you have over, say, 1 BTC.  They are not that hard to learn to use (I am not a pro in BTC nor in computer science), I was able to figure how to use the two I own out (Trezor and Ledger Nano).

It looks like there are going to be a number of products before long.  Already there are several, at different price points.  I am looking forward to more hardware wallets coming.

And I cannot remember anyone having a really big problem with any of them (someone correct me if I am wrong).
