Touchpad recommendations?
« on: Sat, 22 June 2013, 09:42:11 »
I hate my laptop keyboard.  But I end up using it when working on my laptop from the couch.  I can set the laptop on an end table and use a keyboard but I hate going back to the touchpad, and using a mouse just isn't practical.

So my idea was to take one of my two GH60's and build in a touchpad to the right of the keyboard into the case (I'm using wood, because why not?).  But I need a decent touchpad that isn't huge. 

I'm not gaming or doing serious graphics, just normal web browsing, programming. etc. But I would like something reasonably sturdy and reliable.

Any recommendations?

The touchpad in my Cherry G80-11900 is by far the best one I have ever used.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

It sure feels quite good. However, it's not recognized as a touchpad by the system for some reason—unknown to me. Thus I can't configure stuff like scrolling. Doesn't really matter though, I prefer trackball, rollermouse or a trackpoint.

Out of curiosity, what OS are you running?

GNU/Linux, but I think it's rather a hardware issue (PS/2).
