Perixx PERIPAD-704 Wireless Touchpad, Portable Track Pad for Desktop and Laptop User, Large Size 4.72x3.54x0.74 inches (Wireless), Black

I bought this device mainly to work at night and not bother my wife with my constant mouse-clicking. This touchpad does the job perfectly, recognizing several finger gestures that make it versatile for scrolling, selecting, zooming, etc.

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.

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!

the hardware is perfect. the size, shape, and color are perfect. the texture, sensitivity, and accuracy are perfect. the physical clicky buttons feel perfect.but windows recognizes the touchpad as a mouse and not a touchpad, so there are no options to toggle gestures, especially tap to click. so every couple seconds my mouse just does stuff at randomwhy would you put tap to click on a peripheral which has its own physical clicky buttons? i wouldnt buy a touchpad with physical clicky buttons if i wanted tap to click. why add terrible " innovative" features which cannot be toggled? why not make official drivers to do that when you have them for your other products?better yet, why not make windows recognize your touchpad as a touchpad so all these options are provided by my own OS? im using a different touchpad right now which was recognized as such and so windows let me turn off that stuff very easilyi am so, so disappointed.

Too bad, it's the size I needed for my desk, but it isn't recognized by Win 10 as a precision touchpad and it doesn't allow three and four finger taps/gestures. Also, there are lags in responsiveness. So, it's back to the almost too small Peripad-501 II, which does allow 3 and 4 finger gestures.

I admit, I was hesitant to buy the item after reading some reviews and being alerted to the fact that it is a frequently returned item. However, I am very happy with it... in fact I bought a second one. My needs are very limited... I just needed basic "set and click" functionality to use with music player progress bar. I don't know that it would be ideal if I needed a lot of navigation, but it's great for what I need.

I had just ordered and received my wireless touchpad. I'm overall very impressed with it!I seem to be developing carpel tunnel in my hands. I keep my laptop on a stand behind my flat panel monitor, but I seemed to prefer using a touchpad compared to a small Logitech laptop mouse.I saw this wireless trackpad. At first, I was put off by the Amazon warning of "frequently returned item". I wasn't worried about my ability to return it, but whether it would work well or not.It feels like a standard laptop trackpad to me. The only thing to otherwise keep in mind is that the left and right buttons themselves do 'wrap' around the sides, so you can't just rest your palm on it without clicking a button. It seems larger than a standard laptop trackpad, so it may take a bit of getting used to it. Also, make sure you turn off your other pointing devices as that could interfere with your pointer.I believe this will work fine for my needs. I gave it a 4 stars only because I wish the buttons were more contained on it so I could rest my palm on it just like on a laptop, but that's a minor issue to me.
