PERIPAD-504 Wired USB Touchpad, Portable Trackpad for Desktop and Laptop User, Large Size,Big

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.

My specific use case for purchasing and using this device is to use it on a Chromebox. Overall, the device works as advertised. The surface has a very light sandpaper-like feel to it that helps your fingers to move and scroll the touchpad. If Perixx had decided to increase the dimensions of this touchpad by 25 to 30 percent, I think this would be a much more popular touchpad to use. In its current state, the touchpad is functional, but you will discover that your fingers want to be accustomed to a larger touchpad space.

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 find this better than using a mouse. Since purchasing this touch pad I can have the ability of working on my laptop like I usually do. I love this a lot.

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 random why 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 easily i am so, so disappointed.

Returned after one day. The touchpad was finicky, imprecise, and slow to respond. It was difficult getting it to sit on top of whatever it was I was trying to click on.

I connected it to my (admittedly old) MacBook Pro running MacOS 10.13.6 and it works fine.

This touchpad perfectly suits my needs and surpasses my expectations. I use it with my Windows 10 Dell laptop (docked, lid closed) with an external keyboard and mouse because I also wanted access to a touchpad. The Peripad-504 was immediately recognized as a “mouse” upon connecting with no additional action required. It works wonderfully. Since I also use a Mac with a Magic Trackpad (which I absolutely love), and the scroll directions on Mac are opposite the scroll directions on Windows, I found some instructions on the internet for how to edit the Windows registry to “FlipFlop” the scroll directions for the Peripad-504 to match my Mac. Extremely happy with this touchpad.

It's a little bulky, but overall it's lasted a long while (despite my consistent spills, knocks, etc) and still works great!

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.

funcional, cumple su funcion se conecta facilmente

Wireless Connection Not Stable. Cursor breaks and keep stuck. Some times triggers a right-click instead of a scroll. Both Left & right clicking buttons are working fine. Not Recommended.

Touchpad qui fait le job, j'en suis satisfaite pour soulager mon poignet et syndrome du canal carpien Bonne sensibilité au toucher, le moins c'est l'épaisseur du touchpad, mais on s'y habitue, je recommande pour bon rapport qualité prix.
