ProtoArc Wireless Trackpad for Windows10/11

Love it. Helps with my carpal tunnel because makes it easy to use my left hand for mouse movements and give my right hand a break. Also easier to click with a tap than clicking an actual mouse button.

This trackpad is a great options for a mouse replacement. For the cost I probably wouldn’t buy it again but it travels with me easily. It isn’t really much more efficient than the trackpad on my laptop but when using a docking station it’s a great option for me. It can connect to multiple devices easily, and the battery lasts quite some time (I have only charged it twice in 3 months and use it every day).

I had to add and remove the three Bluetooth instances several times before it was recognized. The cursor movement isn't smooth or particularly accurate. I've used touchpads by Alps, Cirque, etc. that were much smoother. There is no accompanying software and the mouse/trackpad settings inherent in Windows 10 don't seem to make it any more accurate. I've put it away for now, but I'll try to find some answers to the issues I'm having and try it again later.

Good buy

After 12 (blissful) years of use of a Mac at home and at work, I'd become quite accustomed to the efficiency and superiority of a great trackpad. When a recent job change also forced a change to a PC, I was jolted back into using a peripheral from the 1960s—a mouse. Hoping to drag my new PC into the 21st century, I went in search of a product that matched or approximated my Apple Magic Trackpad. If that product exists for a PC, it's not this product. The T1 is large: wider and longer than a Magic Trackpad. That is a huge problem, as it turns out. When you browse and scroll a document like I do at work all day, you'll often find it necessary to click the part you want to highlight (or copy) when your fingers are positioned, say, at the top of that scrolling motion. With a Magic Trackpad, that's no problem; I can click and select any place my fingers touch. That wasn't at all true with the T1—at least not consistently. If my fingers were at the top, sometimes a tap worked but more often it didn't. I instead had to move my whole hand from the top to the bottom to click. That's a huge problem because it doesn't leave you and room to then, say, highlight text below where your hand then rests—and thus defeats the purpose of even having a track pad. Dragging files to attach them to an email also proved frustrating. The tap often didn't work. So I had to try and drag the file from the folder (sometimes located in a different monitor) and drag it across the screen but often ran out of "real estate" because of where I had to engage the pad to get a good click. After a day of frustration and fiddling with settings, I boxed it back up and returned it (well, I'm in the process of returning it).I will say that the gesture controls were great and programmable through settings. So, if you're more patient than me with an inferior product or just use it differently, you may be able to make this work. I couldn't. Or wouldn't. (Also, FYI: Magic Trackpad won't work with Windows. I tried. All that moves is the cursor. Ugh.)

I got this to support free hand drawing in some of the design software I use and it doesn't disappoint.I can't see any lag between my motions on the trackpad and what shows up on the screen. I also can draw some pretty finely detailed images which is an enormous improvement over trying to do the same with my mouse.The only lag I notice is when I'm scrolling on the screen and it seems a slight bit jerky. However that's not an important issue for drawing.The track pad does had left and right mouse click areas but you really don't need them do to it's multi-touch support which is excellent.So why only 4 stars? The track pad is supposed to support up to 3 Bluetooth connections but I've only been able to get one to connect which it does reliably. But the other 2 channels don't show up in the list of available-to-connect Bluetooth devices either on my PCs or my iPad.

I bought a mini pc to take with me traveling and wanted something slim and easy to pack up to use with it versus a large mouse. The track pad paired up perfectly with both the pc and my phone and works flawlessly. It does take a bit of getting use to the methodology of scrolling and clicking but I've experienced zero issues with connectivity, functionality or power.

It is the best trackpad in the market for Windows but is still irritating to use.
