Works in Linux out of the box

The small version works out of the box in OpenSuSE and should work with any recent Linux distro; no special drivers needed. It registers as a mouse AND a keyboard, not a touchpad, but it works just fine, including the two and three finger gestures for scrolling and minimizing open windows or switching apps.Why does it register as a keyboard and mouse? Well, if you're moving the cursor, clicking, or using two-finger scroll, it registers as mouse movements/clicks. If you use three fingers, it registers as a keyboard combo. Three fingers down register as Win+D, three fingers left/right register as Alt-Tab and Shift-Alt-Tab, etc.

Pros

‎No

Cons

The touchpad may not have customizable settings
