before I order I would like to know if the touchpad is the three button type, not the single pad type that everyone hates. Thanks

I'm not too sure what brand or type mouse will fit your needs.I feel your not comfortable with the existing touch pad? If so,you can adjust the tapping zone and the sensitivity. It made a world of difference for me. hope this helps.

This is an Adesso keyboard all right. I have had mine over a year and I still love it and it still works great. And yes, it has Adesso above the touchpad. I don't blame you for checking though.Keith

Since I am a confirmed mouser, I do not use the touchpad. M. Goldman is correct the touchpad is touchy. I find it helps to disable the touchpad by holding down the Fn key and hitting the F7 to disable the touchpad. If not I find myself sometimes hitting the touchpad when I hit the space bar. This can cause some confusion until you realize what is going on.

The touchpad does have right and left click sensors in the touch pad. Click the bottom left corner of the pad for left click and bottom right for right click.

The track pad does have left and right mouse buttons at the bottom of the trackpad where you'd expect them to be. You don't see them but they are there. Also, the battery life is very good. I am used to 3 hours with my old laptop and now that just makes a dent in the battery life with plenty to go. The one item I don't like is the trackpad is very very sensitive. Just barely brush it and it will relocate the cursor. But, I haven't installed the recommended drivers yet so that might be part of the problem.

I just ordered this laptop. I read those reviews about the trackpad too, but found recent reviews stating that there is an update for the trackpad at Dell, that solves the problem.

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 it is... But i stopped using the touch pad...batteries leaked and the touchpad stopped working. Badly it was in 7 months...no warranty..

The touchpad is separate to the right and is easy to use. This is my best computer yet!

Yes, we had a problem with the touchpad being pressed while using the keyboard and USB mouse. Fortunately, there is a setting that automatically disables the touchpad whenever a USB mouse is plugged in.Also, we had to disable the Win 8 gestures on the touch pad, because it kept doing weird things like pulling up the Windows 8 sidebar (which we never use).

I am having problems with my touchpad as well. Hopefully someone has some answers. :(

I wish I could. I think the Seller should have some Link or info to. I know I wanted to Lock the Touch Pad since I was using Keyboard so the document would not Errouniously move on me. But, I just worked around it and put a cut out from a file folder over it taped where It would not feel the sensitivity of my hands hitting the Touch Pad. If I need the Touch Pad, I just fold it back. Hope You get something from the Vendor on this. Good Information to have and I agree it should be somewhere.ScoTT

The touchpad handles right clicks by tap in the lower right hand corner. There is no physical button and there is no click noise. It works well. By the way, I've been using Chromebooks recently, and I thought they had a two finger tap for a right click, but maybe not. That's another story.

Yes the type cover has both buttons built in the touch pad. The left click button is the easiest (just as in laptops) with just a single tap anywhere to select an item and double tap to open. For the right click function, the bottom right corner (near to the bottom edge) of the touch area is where you press to activate it.

It has a left/right bar below the touch pad. Push on the left or right side and it functions just like two separate buttons. Works fine.

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.
