Perixx PERIPAD-501 Wired USB Touchpad, Portable Trackpad for Laptop and Desktop User, Black, Small Size

Interesting mouse alternative – love the zoom feature.
I bought this as a first experiment with mouse alternatives, after seeing it mentioned on a YouTube review of the top 10 touchpads to buy. I read a lot of reviews here and elsewhere before finally buying this when the price dropped by almost £5.Plugging it into Win 7 (64bit) it took just a few moments to install the driver automatically, before being able to use the pad. I still had my mouse connected, and could swap between them without any problems. The basic functions such as one finger tap to select, double tap to open, and two finger tap for right menu all worked easily. Moving the pointer around the screen was also fairly easy, although the pad is quite small so you need to lift your finger off and reposition it to get all the way across the screen. If you were using the pad all the time, instead of a mouse you could alter the settings in Control Panel/Mouse to speed up pointer scrolling.The ability to zoom in and out of pdf documents and photos, using two fingers, like you would with Android mobile phones and tablets is quite appealing and works well. The ability to scroll through pdf documents or up and down photos and webpages is a little bit more hit and miss. There is a scrolling area on the right of the pad and using two fingers in that area is supposed to allow scrolling, but I found it was a bit intermittent and often presented the right click menu or simply moved the pointer around. After a little experimenting I discovered that this is not a device that is improved by pressing harder – far from it – the lighter I pressed on the right-hand side of the pad the better the scrolling worked!Overall, I think this is an interesting and useful alternative to the traditional mouse, with a few extra features such as zooming, that could be handy for many people. I am not about to switch over to it permanently, but I will probably use it for photo browsing and possibly more, depending on how well I can master the light touch needed for scrolling.

Acceptable, but can’t be configured
Lightweight, and I like the large surface area. Glad I didn’t choose a smaller version.Works OK for security camera system, which is what I want it for. But the two buttons don’t work on Linux desktop (Ubuntu).The pointer moves quite fast for little movement on the trackpad. The movement seems to be linear rather than exponential, which would make it tricky to use for any fine adjustment. I can’t see how that could be configured differently unless it had bespoke driver software.

Excellent peripheral
Works perfectly with Windows & Linux out of the box. DO FORGET TO TURN IT ON.

Get a Mouse!!
I bought this when my laptop trackpad became faulty. An old laptop, that I just needed to use until I could replace which I now have. Honestly, it was not great. I replace it with a wireless mouse which was much better. It was not great to use, would move and the wire would annoy me. A bit of a waste of money for me.

Nosotros lo hemos comprado para una máquina industrial por el tema del polvo. De momento funciona bastante bien.

As a software developer, clicking and typing are the only ways to keep me well fed, but at the cost of a sore wrist. With this, I can type as if on a laptop, positioning the mouse right below my keyboard, eliminating most of the stress exerted on my wrist. A really solid product and I’d recommend it.
