3.0 out of 5 stars I almost like it a lot. A small change would make it great. December 28, 2011

The Logitech Wireless Touch pad works well, it's a nice shape, and it looks good. The smooth plastic feels good to the finger tips. In almost all ways I like it, and wish I liked it enough to use it.

The problem is that there is no texture difference in the plastic helping you finger feel when it has passed from the sensitive inner zone to the insensitive outer zone. The effect is to produce a sluggish nonresponsive sensation every time the finger strays too far from the middle of the pad. I bought a laptop computer in September that I returned to the store after a few hours of use because its touchpad had the same problem; you can't feel the boundary of the sensitive region. For me, the missing boundary makes it feel too unresponsive, but maybe other people won't mind. Logitech could easily fix this. They did make a narrow slightly indented curve at each of the four corners of the sensitive area. If they were to extend that same effect to form a rectangular box around the sensitive region, the touchpad would be nearly perfect. The Logitech Touchpad is a great idea, but in its current form I'm not going to keep using it.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 and 1/2 stars! January 11, 2012

I'd start off by saying that I've never used the Mac's touchpad, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it doesn't matter, since I use Win7. It'd be comparing an apple and an orange.

After I plugged in the usb receiver, it started working right away. I went ahead and went to Logitech website and downloaded their software, installed them, without any glitch.

I've noticed a lot of people thought it was just "ok" but after just one day of use, I must say, I'd give better than 4 star rating. Here's why:

1. comfortable (that's the whole point, right?).
2. Wireless, and the receiver is tiny, so I can leave it in the usb, and just forget about it.
3. small enough to fit on my workstation, but much larger than the touch pad my laptop came with (below the space bar on the keyboard).
4. I love the extra functions this touchpad has that my old mouse did not have. Two-finger touch/ scrolling, three finger touch (makes scrolling up and down on a long document much easier), and four finger touch (my favorite! Move four fingers up and all your open windows pop up and just choose the window you want to look at).
5. left and right mouse buttons. The fact that they put these buttons means you can do everything with this device that can be done with a mouse.
6. Price: at $25 (amazon daily sale price), it wasn't a big investment, but I'll be using it everyday at work!

Now here's why it didn't get 5 star:
1. The touchpad has margins about an inch on both sides. It can be annoying because your finger might still be moving but once it leaves the "sensitive" part, the cursor also stops. I don't find it that annoying, but I can understand some people's frustrations.
2. Hard to play games with. If you try to play Angry birds with this, it'll take a bit of used to. I don't play game on my computer, so It's not a big deal for me either.
3. speed and consistency: I guess every mouse has a bit of different "acceleration" and sensitivity to movements, and this device is no exception. The cursor moves a bit fast for my touch, but I think I can get used to it.

I hope this review helps!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not so much a multi-touch device October 3, 2011

By Sam C.

I bought this thinking that it would bring a little bit more of a Mac like experience to my windows 7 desktop. My experience after using it for over a week as my primary mouse is that I'm ready to go back to my trackball. The device has a number of shortcomings. Not all of the surface can be used for scrolling. There is a good amount of dead space around the edges. The surface itself is just plastic. On a Macbook Pro it is glass and your fingers just glide across the surface. The two finger scrolling behavior cannot be customized so if you are using OS X Lion and coming to this your muscle memory will need to adapt. Also the scrolling jumps around sometimes when you take your fingers off and put them back on. I briefly thought about turning the pad around but the driver options are pretty limited and you cannot switch the left & right mouse button behavior nor the axis that the pointer moves when using a single finger. The gesture support in the device seems to be limited to just 1-4 fingers moving in a single direction. There are no advanced gestures such as the pinch & zoom gesture found in just about every tablet, smart phone and Mac these days. The device can perform a click on tap but I find myself tapping more than once to get it to be recognized. More often I just resort to the mouse buttons which are near my thumb but after half a day of use I can feel some strain in my thumb from the weird clicking angle my hand is usually in. This device should be purchased if you want a solid basic touch pad like you would find in a basic no frills laptop. If you are looking for something that will give you advanced multi-touch features and a comfortable user experience pass on this device.
