After damaging both my arms, I have to use my left arm for about everything over the coming weeks.Using a normal mouse, was hard, but the touchpad on my laptop worked fine, so I bought two different touchpads and both worked well.They don't fully replace a computer mouse for me, but they're very comfortable to use, so I'll use it as extra pads for my laptop and desktop.This one in particular have physical buttons, which sound a lot when clicking, but it leaves less room for mistakes. Why I use a touchpad to a laptop which already have a touchpad, is due to my hand or clothes always scratches the touchpad on my laptop and move the cursor and where I'm typing.The surface is rough, I first thought that this didn't matter much, but after some usage, I found myself to prefer smooth over rough. It's still comfortable and could preferred by older people and those who want to better feel what they do.This one works so well, that I'm thinking about purchasing more and sell them to customers, due to that I have many old customers, who have a hard time using computer mouses.

Its a touchpad and works well - no problems at all. Connnected easily and works across the room (on computer attached to TV) Allows us both to control the computer! One with the mouse and the other with the track pad.

Multi-touch and scrolling are a bit fiddly. (This is not Apple-class.) But it otherwise does exactly what I need it to do. Nice and big and able to be wired into a sim rig. Works great!

Good tracking, wireless. Slightly chunky. Has a switch to turn on and off to save batteries. Works with Android OS (when you can't just use a screen to move the pointer ... E.g. when your Peloton bike+ touchscreen dies).

i prefer to use touch pads instead of mice to keep my carpal tunnel situation under control. i have touchpads for my mac mini and my macbook air, which i like a lot, and went looking for a product that would work with my Ubuntu 24.04 linux desktop at work.this plugged right in and just worked with no install tomfoolery. the multitouch gestures are similar enough to the ones i use on my macs that there was not a huge amount of adjustment to be made. the only issue with touch gestures is that tap on the pad doesn't particularly work, you still need to use the buttons.the other issue is that positioning is fussier than with the macs. i need to look and see if there is any tuning available to settle this down. it does work, though, and i'm glad i got it. my right wrist is also glad i got it.

There was a prolonged period in the 90's and early 2000's I think, when I actually preferred touchpads to other pointing devices. Mine were high quality wired models that reliably performed all basic functions in Windows 98 forward. I found them to be straightforward, intuitive and natural to use. Somewhere along the way I was seduced away from touchpads by wireless trackballs and mice, which I've used interchangeably for the last 15 odd years. However, as I've aged I've acquired some health issues that cause me to unintentionally press mouse/trackball clicker buttons, which is both annoying and counterproductive. That probably wouldn't happen with good old touchpads, I reasoned, and proceeded forthwith to buy two -- this Peripad-504 and a Keymecher 620-U_MAX as well. As an experienced touchpad user, I'm disappointed by both. They have decent build quality, but don't function well or consistently. They just don't register taps well, and even the left/right click buttons don't work right. Whether those respond at all depends on where and how hard they are pressed. They should work whenever and wherever they are pressed, but no. Touchpads are simple widgets that should function correctly every time, especially considering the power and sophistication of what they are plugged into. There shouldn't be a learning curve. However, these don't even work as well as the ones I used 2 decades ago. I don't know whether I'll keep or return either of them at this point, but either way if you decide to get one, be aware that they have issues.

I'm using it on a laptop running Linux (NixOS, KDE Plasma) .I love having two-finger gestures available at my desk. It worked on without having to install or configure anything, which is great. But it's practically unuseable:There's like a half-second of delay between when you start a gesture and when the page starts to scroll. The feedback is so sluggish that by the time you take your finger off the pad you've already scrolled past what you wanted to see. Pinch and zoom is similarly too hard to control, although I'm not sure latency is the problem there. And for pointing it's much harder to use than the mouse or the trackpad built into my laptop. As a result I'm keeping the mouse plugged in; I use the trackpad to scroll pages and the mouse for pointing.

I use a Lenovo Carbon notebook and love the touchpad. It's low, smooth, and its action buttons are at it's top.The Peripad is a quality item, but I could not get comfortable with its height. I've got large hands and even so i found its height a problem. Another challenge for me is its textured surface. The Lenovo surface is totally smooth and so easy to navigate. Peripad's is textured and, for me, hard to get used to. Last, the activity buttons located at the base was one more obstacle for me to relearn. I tried to turn it upside down to accommodate, but then all the cursor movements are reversed.If I had to adapt to this pad I'm sure I could. But it would take some effort. So sending it back!

The touchpad is exactly as advertised. Very basic features, and plug & play. The gestures work fine; however, I only use double finger up and down for scrolling and single tap for click.The left and right buttons have a nice clicky snap to them that gives it nice feedback whenever you interact with them. And the surface area your fingers interact with to move the cursor has a slight texture but nothing significant. It's not smooth like glass but not rough like sand paper.For the price it meets my expectations. My hands are quite bad and I can't use a traditional mouse. I prefer this over a trackball style setup and would recommend it to anyone in my situation.I'll admit the one thing I forgot is that there's no middle mouse button, but that seems common among all trackpads and just highlights my oversight during pre-purchase.
