Review on Effortlessly Navigate Your Laptop Or Desktop With The Perixx PERIPAD-501 Wired USB Touchpad by Eric Dubreuil

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Uses generic Windows mouse driver

This says you don't have to install a driver. What that means is that the company doesn't provide a drive and that Windows recognizes this as a generic HID mouse. That would be fine if you can handle never being able to turn of Windows trackpad gestures. But they will probably drive you crazy - you'll be trying to drag something and instead you get the task switcher. Really this is a Windows issue. Microsoft should let you turn off gestures whether you have a precision trackpad or not. But since they don't, I have relegated this device to emergency use only, because it's too frustrating and unpredictable for regular use.

Pros
  • Compact Design: Small and Light portable touch pad with a dimension of 3.39 x 2.95 x 0.43 inch
Cons
  • The touchpad may not register every touch accurately
