Touchpad with Mouse Can you use a wireless mouse with this product? My husband has large fingers and hates touchpads. If wireless mouse can be used, what brand do you recommend?

Hot keys "fn + f7" disables touch pad if you use a mouse. ..great. do it again if u want to enable.

I have an inexpensive($8.00) Logitech M215 wireless. Works just fine for most applications, the touch pad is okay. I just adjusted the settings until I felt comfortable with it. The keyboard is pretty close to fullsize (minus the number pad).

I use a Logitech Anywhere wireless mouse. But it takes over some of the functions of the mouse pad. Like scrolling is assigned to the mouse, and finger gestures no longer work. I don't mind that much. Since I prefer the mouse to the pad . I haven't found a fix yet. Maybe it's a Logitech software issue. Haven't tried any other mouse.

Hi Laureen L.,I never used a mousepad with the mouse...it is fine. Also, it is Microsoft compatible. I have a new computer and mouse now...but, I do believe it is Office 7 Professional compatible. I hope I've answered your questions. Good luck! radiogalNY

You should be able to use your own mouse, just plug it into the USB port. However, I can not answer the rest because I had to return my Dell. It was not working when it arrived. Wi-Fi should be enabled if you want to go on line.

Have I used it with that keyboard? No. But really there should be no issues at all as long as you're using latest drivers. I would say that if you like a wireless keyboard why not go with a wireless mouse?

I'm not a touchpad fan so I have a wireless mouse. However, when I do use it, it is calibrated quite well. I never feel that it is too sensitive. The keyboard is great. It's very comfortable.

Do you mean with a lap top computer? The person I got this for hasn't used it with a laptop, but thinks it could fit with a small mouse pad.

I use external mouse and am happy with the performance. Moreover, once I got used to the how the Touchpad works, I found that I actually liked and found it intuitive in many ways.

Yes you can use a mouse, just jack in the USB and you should get the access to the mouse. I have used it before.

No, a touch pad is a pad that you move your finger(s) across to move the pointer. It acts as your mouse

The answer is yes. I do not recommend this computer because of the touch pad. I have had 7 or 8 laptops over the years and this one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. If you are not going to use it with a mouse, you should pass on it.

I have the wireless keyboard and mouse combination. They match perfectly and both work perfectly. I used to have a Dell wireless mouse as well and while it does work with the keyboard, I found the matching mouse to work and handle much better than the Dell mouse. Would recommend that you go with the combination. I've had this combination for over three years and I've only had to change the batteries in the mouse once. Great buy.

Takes a bit of getting use to, the touch pad and left/right click buttons are all one....other then getting use to it, there was no problem. I generally attach a wireless mouse and use it on my laptop anyway.

I would assume that if you preferred to use an external mouse you could install software and plug in standard USB port.....I prefer the mouse pad that is installed already....

The documentation says no, and when I had problem, that was one of the first things that they told me to not use....But, I'm able to use a wireless mouse without a problem. I don't have a wireless keyboard, so can't comment on that.Also note, I have problems using it with a Mac, either a Mac Mini, or a MacBook Pro, so if you have a Mac, I wouldn't recommend it(though others say that it works fine).

Probably - if your TV has a spare usb port for the wireless connection. But don't think the touchpad will eliminate the need for a mouse because the product is tempermental at best, a rip off if you need the mouse pad to work. Well promoted, just worthless for my application.
