Questions & Answers

Does this touch pad work well with a stylus?

Any stylus should do the trick here, I'm sure. I usually use the stylus that comes with my phone or my finger, but I think it could work with any stylus. There is a lot of responsiveness on the pad.

What about Ubuntu? Does it work?

It is confirmed Straight out of the box, it works with Ubuntu 16 Xenial Although I have not yet tried using any of the extra features (like two finger swiping). You can scroll from right to left using the scroll bar there as well

Does anyone know how to make this work properly on After installing version 3, I activated it. What if you have only one driver that does not work consistently?

Without the 3 it worked better for me on Windows 10. Windows will update the driver it needs on its own if there is only one driver.

Exactly which kind of plastics[if you assume] do these come from? The part that would be touched is what I'd like to know. ?

The outer part of the case appears to be hard plastic, even though I am not sure what material it is exactly. In addition, the "touch" pads for the inside are another type of product. Personally, I loved using them and regretted when they no longer worked with my OS (8.1).

THE BEST WEARS OUT after a while
3/5

There have been three purchases of this item. So it's a good thing for me. Nevertheless, I use the computer a lot since I spend a lot of time at it. In about 10 or 11 months, I have to use fine sandpaper to re-polish the silver Rubbing the slick touch surface will give it a new look. It's also essential to open the device, remove the plastic under the right side, and put the device back together It is hard to click anymore since regular use damages the button, making it no longer connect to the sensor. It is reasonable to assume the manufacturers would figure this into the design. My guess is that I will try a different touchpad so as not to keep getting suckered by their planned obsolescence.

There is usually some work done, but it is hardly always the case
3/5

In addition, it has poor customer support. I have updated This driver often stopped responding when I used it. I no longer use it. So I could use the regular mouse I had plugged into my computer, I left it plugged in. Previously, Quicken would disable the driver sometimes, but more recently when the computer was woken up from sleep, the driver would be disabled. Therefore, I've moved the touchpad out of the way, put the mouse back in front of my keyboard, and I will soon unplug and uninstall the touchpad. There is not enough time in the day to mess There's no need to worry about it. I found the buttons to be quite flimsy and rattled when I used them. An angle-shaped corner Tap or right-click In the click area as well as most of the menu items, clicks are present Use finger gestures to communicate In my opinion, they cause confusion and distracting noise. The Quicken 2017 pop-up appears to be active from time to time Up window disables the trackpad entirely, so I have to use a mouse on my PC since Quicken is quite time consuming to use. Although the website links are functional, the support appears to be weak at best. The driver could not be found with the most obvious page link Nevertheless, I still keep the trackpad and use it most of the time instead of the regular mouse since it is something I find more convenient.

Wear and tear on buttons eventually leads to their replacement
4/5

This is the second time I've bought this in the past year, both because I love it and because it has broken twice. I love it because I have arm pain as a result of excessive computer usage, and it works better than anything else I've tried. The left button on my laptop has recently stopped working. In fact, I was only unable to click it if I clicked it on the right side of the left button, whereas I was able to click it on the left side successfully. After reading the reviews again, I found out someone else was able to repair it. I was about to buy it a third time when I came across the update. My reaction was to remove the two screws exposed on the front and rear feet, and remove the two screws hidden under the rear feet to see Under the mouse button are two simple ridges for reinforcing where the underside contacts the frame where it presses up against the PC board. This movement is restricted by the underside of the button. By pressing the left side, you have the greatest leverage, while pressing the right side results in a weaker grip. With a file on the right underside ridge (a fingernail file may work or even a file on the underside ridge), I am getting more movement when I press the right side and have solved It looks like the PC board button is wearing down and eventually it will need to be replaced, but I just bought it 2 years ago so I want to keep using it as long as I can.

My intention was to replace Apple's Magic Trackpad with an alternative
5/5

Despite the fact that this product does not function exactly like a trackpad on a Mac, it can be used instead of a mouse if you want. All of the above functions work well, including dragging, clicking, and right clicking. The device does not appear to support gestures such as pinch zoom or rotation on Mac, unless I am missing a driver for this device. I however don't use these gestures very often, so I use the trackpad on my laptop whenever they are necessary since I rarely use them. The product is about $90 less expensive than a magic trackpad (as of today) and more ergonomic than a mouse. It is also wired (I am avoiding Bluetooth as much as possible). The manufacturer's website contains a more comprehensive guide, so there is no need to go there.

Perfect! Just what I was looking for! Many years after developing acute tendonitis in both wrists (because of repetitive strain injury but made worse by computer use), this started making using a mouse too painful
5/5

The wireless keyboard I'm using on the bed (instead of the laptop) and a portable touchpad are both needed. There are many things I love about this phone it's lightweight, stays where I put it, sensitive to touch, I don't use the advanced features that need additional downloads, and the cord is not as long For the next few years I plan to use Windows 7, so I don't need any new touchscreen features of older and more expensive wireless pads. Having read great reviews from people who had wrist injuries, I ordered this product based on their reviews, and the frequent sharp pains are gone now that I used it!.

I purchased this when it was on sale to see how it was
3/5

It was poorly designed and of low quality especially for the price. I don't think it's worth it. There are too many features missing. Basically, it's a laptop touchpad in a box that is far too small to be used by someone who is not mobile. It is necessary to obtain drivers from the vendor to use gestures and even the scroll wheel (yay for the I was concerned about its lightweight and ability to move by itself. A few odd design decisions are made here, such as the cable exiting on the right side rather than from There is no middle mouse button on it. I'm not a huge fan of the cheap feel of the buttons. The setup is suitable for quick testing, crash carts, and many other types of setups commonly used in industrial environments. Using it for gaming or any other work that involves a lot of mouse use (CAD, video editing, etc. ) is not feasible due to its small size.
