Review: Two sizes of simple touchpads that work well and are a great value - 2019 UPDATE: REVIEW OF LARGE MODEL As I said in my original review, it is astonishingly hard to find touchpads that allow you to select text or blocks of data like normal laptop touchpads. I liked the original small version very much, but when I needed one for my home computer, I decided to try the larger model despite the mixed reviews here. The larger touchpad works exactly like a regular laptop touchpad. Just like the smaller version, there is no software to install. Just plug it in and you're ready to go. I particularly like the nice large, physical mouse buttons. A couple important notes: - This is not a precision touchpad. It's just like a regular mouse. If you need a precision touchpad, you'll need to look elsewhere. - Some people have complained about hypersensitivity, which I have not experienced at all. If this is a problem, you can change the pointer speed and other features using the built-in Windows mouse settings. Lastly this touchpad is not as slick or customizable as the JellyComb ($70) or Apple models ($120), but it's also only $25. In other words, it works fine for normal work on your computer, but it's not fancy, which may or may not meet your needs. It happens to be perfect for me. ORIGINAL REVIEW OF SMALLER MODEL I prefer using a touch pad with my desktop PC because it's easier on my wrist since I have carpal tunnel syndrome. It is surprisingly difficult to find one that works just like a normal laptop touch pad. I do a lot of work with Word and Excel, and the newer touch pads don't allow you to do a normal click and drag, which makes them useless for me. This touchpad is smaller than I expected, but it works just fine. Plugged it in, didn't need to install anything, which was important since I'm on a system at work where I don't have the ability to install anything, even as simple as a mouse driver. It seems well-made and since it is so small and light, it's easy to take it with me if I'm switching computers. And the price is right!
Review: Better than the same company's wireless, bigger version - This is a simple device that works well for a plug and play peripheral with no software. The size is perfect, to me there is no advantage to making a touchpad any bigger because it just means more hand movement. The surface is smooth and doesn't have to much friction and the screen tap works flawlessly. Its small but actually stays put better than its bigger version because of really grippy rubber feet. The control is very fine, you can click and drag to change the TINY volume control that comes up on super loud desertcart product videos for example. The scroll is much better than the bigger version, it can be used to fine scroll single lines at a time. I appreciate the gestures built in such as 3 finger swipe up to task view, 3 finger swipe down to show desktop, etc but the 3 finger touch brings up a random start type menu which is not very useful for me and the 4 finger tap shows the calendar, again not useful for me. A software program that allows you to assign a shortcut to these would be much better...say control H for voice or escape for example. Also the cord...well if that's what it takes to make it work (again I must stress that the wireless version SUCKS) I guess ok but at least make it a usb-c so I can use a longer better cable. The cable is very light and thin and is hard to get neat because it bunches up more easily. Also it attaches to the right side and I would prefer it connects to the back of the device. Its a great device that could be perfect with some improvements but it is cheap and it works. Actually its one of my fav peripheral even compared to more expensive ergo ones.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this Touchpad work with Linux Mint 15?**
A: I bought the 504 and it worked in the Ubuntu 18.04 login window but did not work with the Gnome window manager after login. This pointed to a driver issue in Gnome so I switched to the KDE window manager and it works great.

**Q: Can this be used for a signature?**
A: No, not really.  Consider it just like a touch pad on a laptop.  It is used for pointing.

**Q: Does this support vertical and horizontal edge scrolling?**
A: The device support 2 finger scrolling.

**Q: Will this work with a samsung galaxy tab e 9.6"?**
A: If the tablet support HID (Human Interface Device), then it will work.  You can easily test it with a normal USB keyboard to see if it is working.  If it is working, then this touchpad will work on it too.  If not, the touchpad won't work on the device

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not working with my Win 11 laptop
*by A***6 on July 12, 2025*

Bought this a very long time ago and it worked great. Hadn't used it in a long time and plugged it into Windows 11 but it's not functioning properly. 5 stars but for older Win OS versions. It's not the fault of the product or company that tech has moved on. Perixx makes quality products in general.
