Review on πŸ’» Perixx PERIPAD-504 USB Touchpad: Large Size, Portable Trackpad for Desktop and Laptop Users by Joshua Ngo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Convenient and Accurate Multi-OS Trackpad

This is a basic, no-frills trackpad. I've used it on my various machines ranging from older distributions of Puppy Linux and Linux Mint to Win7, Win8.1, Win10 and Windows Server 2012. It has worked flawlessly in every single instance - drivers load like magic - and I often use the mouse in my right hand and this trackpad in my left. It has a typical full-size USB connector and works equally well when connected via USB 2.0 and 3.0. The device itself fits in the palm of my hand, and the buttons aren't overly sensitive and don't need to be pressed to turn them on. The tiny rubber bumpers on the bottom hold it perfectly to my desk, and the plain black on the outside is just plain black. The mat itself is textured rather than smooth, giving you a tactile feel unlike some laptops I've come across. A nice bonus is that it has a long USB cable - I'm guessing the cable is 5 1/2 or 6 feet long. a bit stiff, you can hang it on the USB socket on the door hinge to straighten it. At least that's how I did it - the pad is light enough not to stress the strain relief connectors.
