Do I need to push surface for clicking and scrolling or it's like capacitive touch screens ?

yes you need to click, which will send the whole surface down towards where you press.

You need to press the surface for clicking, but scrolling is like capacitive touch screen. If you install the Logitech driver for Windows, you get middle button by clicking at the lower part of the surface with two fingers (very cumbersome, and doesn't work under linux).

For scrolling it is like touch screen. But the clicking is not, it is an actual mechanical click. It does detects which sides of the mouse you are clicking. The most difficult one is the middle button click. You have to use 2 fingers clicking about half an inch above the logitech logo. For me the middle button clicking is a hit and miss. And again, I don't do much middle button clicking so I may not be touching the same spot all the time when doing it.

I agree! I have started using the tap feature of the touchpad (two fingers for right click). I works OK for most things once you get used to it but for quick response in a game, I have to connect an external mouse (trackball in my case).

Yes, and it is NOT worth it. There are other better methods to do the same thing, just search around on google. This is a pain. The little piece that goes between the sides of the keyboard and magic trackpad is always slipping out. It doesn't resolve the problem of clicking the trackpad on a soft surface. Definitely keep looking. There are at least 2 alternatives both of which are better and a more reasonable price.

The click-pen version from NewTrent is slightly narrower, however for capacitive stylii companies don't have "fine" tipped versions, I think it has to do with needing a minimum surface to create the charge that the screen detects. Check for an input zone option in your app or find one with it, that makes it easy to work around. Basically that will blow up a portion of the page into a portion of the screen for you to write in without having to zoom in like crazy. It takes some getting used to, but I have found that it doesn't slow you down too much. I take notes just as well with it as with paper now. Hope that helps!

The touchpad and buttons work just as a mouse. If that is all you are needing for the game is mouse usage it should be no problem. The only thing I haven't tried was click and drag.

Yes, you do have to press the button to click...it is not a tap to click. The scroll feature works by dragging your finger across the surface - no wheel to turn, as you can see in the photo. It does not take much pressure at all to click.

No its not a touch screen but a very robust laptop..superfast! Only thing I don't live is the pad for scrolling up and down.. I use a wireless mouse which does the job. Hope this helps

No. This computer does NOT have a touch screen; however, the mousing surface works quite well. I prefer a real mouse for use with this computer. The USB ports are very tight. It's hard to pull out USB drives from the USB ports. There are 4 USB 3.0 ports. The computer is super fast and really quiet. The slowest part of this computer is its 5400 RPM hard drive. Even though this computer has a 17" screen at 1080p, the characters on the screen are quite small....Luckily, I got new glasses recently. I have not tried the Blu-Ray drive, so I cannot comment on that part of the computer....Windows 8 is hard to use, but not impossible.Jose No. This computer does NOT have a touch screen; however, the mousing surface works quite well.

I use the trackpad in bed (I have a bad back and use a computer table as well). I have the touch gestures enabled so that i can tap instead of click. If you have the trackpad set up this way, you can use it on a soft surface.

No I haven't seen the need to do so. Windows 8 only gets me touch type stuff and I don't see the need in a non touch screen laptop.

Yes it is clickable. if you push down near the palm end, nothing happens, but at the finger tip end, the entire surface acts like a physical button like on a traditional mouse. The main difference is that the touch surface detects which side was being touched during the click and translates that to a left or right button click.

No I am user it on my laptop and there is no issue when using the touch screen.

There is no touchpad on this model, just the keyboard, touchpoint and mousebuttons, so there is no touch scrolling of any sort.

Yes it will make clicking sound. I had a MS Arc Touch mouse and it might be a bit softer. I too was looking for for a "quiet" mouse. I choose this because the touch scroll will not make any noise at all. Hopefully this helps. I also suggest you go to Staples or Bestbuy to check it out first. Good luck.

Nope. You're looking for a capacitive stylus - this is for digitizer screens.

My experience is it treats your touch just like a mouse. You can specify in settings whether that is a left or right click or a select and slide.

.. and it's shipping now!BTW, the touchpad is a Synaptics and you can go up on their website, download the generic XP driver and end up with a touchpad which has both a scrolling feature and a tap-to-click feature.Got mine earlier from a different vendor and enhoying it quite a bit.
