Does the touchpad work? Anyone had trouble with them?

I've had problems with them. The 2 finger scroll does not work. The other options work though, such as setting it to maximize a page with 2 finger tap or returning to desktop with 3 finger tap. You can set those to perform other options too. But you are right, finger scrolling does not work.

Hi, sorry for the late reply, just got back. Yes, my pad is still working, no issues to report.

Not sure about this issue. I have the laptop and have used approx. 2 hrs per day for 4-5 months without having a single instance of a trackpad problem. Computer has worked very well for me. Only issue has been resuming a large number of windows after long duration of rest.Sorry if this does not directly answer your question.

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

If you are referring to the touchpad itself you can try to press the F6 key, that toggles the touchpad on and off. If it is something other than that, We would suggest that you visit our Acer Community website (community.acer.com) for support questions like this. You can join discussions with product specialists and members just like you who are ready to guide you through the process of finding solutions to your issues.

I find it frustrating for simple desktop use. It will sometimes click things when you don't want it to. It's not precise or very accurate. It sometimes goes off on its tangent i.e it'll drift to the edge for no reason. It's terrible really. Use a mouse it'll cut down on the frustration level immensely. However I will add that as of now the trackpad is officially the only problem I have with it. Fanstastic computer otherwise.

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.

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.

I use the touchpad only and have not had problems with it. Sometimes the cursor jumps when I am typing, but I have had this occasionally with other computers. Hope this is helpful.

Yes. It can be very frustrating, however if you use the hot keys fn+f7 you can turn the touch pad on and off.

For me, the stylus in the starter kit worked fine. There was no problem with it. The only problem I had was with the mouse.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

Yes. Currently having trouble with touch pad though. Not loving this laptop much anymore. Buyer beware.

I haven't had any problems with my touchpad. And I've had my ENVY laptop for about a year or so.

Works very well with windows 8. Although, with windows 8 you'll find you rarely use the touchpad and start using the touchscreen a lot more.

Check to see if they've resolved the issues with the track pad. It was awful, did bizarre things on its own, and when I talked with tech support, they said they've known about these problems for months but don't have a fix! But they were still selling it.
