MANO Compact Wired Touchpad

Overall review is an excellent product. I've loved trackpads, they are easy to use and less hurtful to the hand. For windows there has never been a good trackpad other than the laptop installed ones. Till I tried this. This works exactly like my apple magic pad just not Bluetooth yes that's a con but not terrible because you never have to charge it. They allow you in the setting under Bluetooth to control the gestures used. You can make it exactly like the apple trackpad or not. you just have follow their manual. So for myself I change the scrolling directions to match the apple magic pad since that is the one I use for personal use. Design wise its great, I wish they didn't have the bottom portion but if you struggle using the gestures it really helps. The track pad has no lag between touches and scrolling. It is mostly plastic sadly, I would love to see a high end metal, but the plastic is probably what makes this super cheap and affordable in comparison to the apple. In the future if they were to offer a high end I would definitely buy it, I would also buy this one again. This is a great option and has worked flawlessly with my windows 10 work computer.

Ok so I tried a few before I got kept this one. Keymacher makes a bunch of these trackpads and they all work nicely... however I liked this one cause of the buttons all being on the top. Some of the other models had buttons on the bottom and that just messed it up for me. Also, the left middle and right click buttons stick. So if you click the left button you can then drag it to select multiple files. Yes, you can double click and hold on the last click to select.. but this just makes it easier. Also, I love the back and forward web page navigation buttons. The REAL CLINCHER for me though is the Synaptic Touchpad driver. Use this coupled with that drive and you can use windows touchpad settings. This opens up a BUNCH of gestures.

I got so used to using a touchpad on my laptop, using a mouse just seems out of place. Decided to try this touchpad and very impressed with the responsiveness and quality. Very well made and works just like I'd hoped. UPDATE: 02/17/2023 Started noticing that the pad was jumping me all over the place on my screen, but was very random and started a few days ago. Today I can't do anything, without it grabbing things I don't want to move or just randomly grabbing tabs or items on the screen as I am scrolling. Highly DISAPPOINTED> I was hoping for at least a year out of this thing (so my initial expectations weren't even that high!)... Got 2 months to the day!!! And of course this would happen exactly 30 days after I can't return this thing! If you are looking for a 30 day solution, this is your answer! DO NOT RECOMMEND!

I like how responsive this touch pad is. I like how easy it was to set up. The surface of the touch pad is pleasant to the touch. I like the multiple gestures it supports. However, the beauty of using gestures to control your computer (at least in my opinion) is that you don't have to look at the touch pad while you're using them, And this touch pad feels purpose-built to make you look. For me the "buttons" are at the bottom (not really buttons, but places you can touch that simulate clicking one of the mouse buttons or using the scroll wheel). For me these buttons are entirely superfluous, because I can use gestures to perform the functions they are there for. But I've searched the user manual and finally contacted the company to be told that I can't disable them. Normally this would not be a problem, except there is no seam or ridge or anything for me to feel to know when I have my finger over the "button." Thankfully, they have engineered it so that the buttons are disabled while you are performing gestures (otherwise a gesture could cross one of the buttons and make the touchpad totally unusable) but when I am not looking and just put my finger down on the pad to use the mouse, half the time I end up touching one of the buttons instead, and something completely different than what I was expecting happens. (By the way, I'm not convinced the buttons automatically disable when you're forming a gesture on the rest of the pad.) There is no way for me to tell where to start my gesture on the pad without looking, and that is why I say that the pad is made in such a way as to be impossible to use without looking. Furthermore, what if someone did want to use those buttons (for click and drag)? There is no way to tell where to tap on the pad to use the specific button you want to use without looking. It defeats the purpose of learning to touch-type! I am so frustrated and I am considering returning this.

I have several computers in use around the house including a newish windows 11 laptop and an older W10 laptop. The touchpad on the older one is not working as well as it used to. It has single finger scrolling but the surface of the touchpad is wearing out. The newer W11 laptop does not have single finger scrolling and I think the touchpad has other limitations. With some older software it doesn't scroll at all and I have to use the down arrows. I've tried to install more features but it isn't having it. I looked for a usb touchpad and all the ones around at the moment except this one seemed pretty basic. This Keymecher one was an extravagance as it is quite expensive, coming as it does via the US (there were no delays for import duty as that was all dealt with in the purchase). I'm using it now and I'm delighted with it. I'm only just exploring it and it works fantastically. It's a little larger than a laptop touch pad, sits nicely by the side of the computer. When I use the laptop to cast catchup TV to an old smart tv it will be very useful. By the way, it's made in Taiwan.

laggy and slow

Ich habe mich inzwischen so an das Touchpad im Laptop gewöhnt, dass ich es auch am Büro-Arbeitsplatz antelle der Maus nutzen wollte. Nach langer Suche habe ich endlich dieses Touchpad gefunden. Ich habe keinen Unterschied zum internen Touchpad bemerkt und ist es ist kompatibel zu den aktuellen Windows-Versionen - Treiberinstallation läuft unbemerkt im Hintergrund. Für mich ist es der ideale Ersatz für eine Maus. Aber nicht dass es Missverständnisse gibt: Das Verhalten wird unter Windows mit den Touchpad-Einstellungen gesteuert. Die Maustasten-Felder im unteren Bereich sind eigentlich überflüssig - die Touchpad-Gesten funktionieren prompt, manchmal etwas zu prompt - Gewöhnungssache.

Pad is a bit small. Have yet to use more.

Das Touchpad war zu Beginn ganz in Ordnung. Nervig war allerdings, dass es immer ne Sekunde gebraucht hat, um „aufzuwachen“, wenn man den Finger drauf gelegt hat. Der Ruhezustand hat sich auch recht zügig nach wenigen Minuten wieder eingeschaltet, was die Sache noch lästiger gemacht hat. Nach einem halben Jahr wurde das Touchpad aber immer unzuverlässiger. Trotz dass es stationär betrieben wurde, gibt es irgendwie Probleme mit der USB Steckverbindung und das Kabel scheint manchmal nicht richtig in der Buchse zu sitzen. Außerdem war es zunehmend komplizierter das Touchpad aufzuwecken und zielgenau einzusetzen. Selbst für 50€ gibt es zuverlässigere Lösungen, daher kann ich das Produkt nicht empfehlen.
