Is the touchpad multi-gesture?

Assuming you're asking about the mouse pad. It's just a basic mouse touch pad, nothing special.

I have mine set up on my desk with a usb wireless mouse and keyboard, I don't understand what touch pad means, but I did try the keyboard and mouse area and seems to be very user friendly though. Hope this helps.

Yes it does. Recognizes standard gestures. I don't know too many custom ones, so it works quite well for me.

I like the touchpad, and yes, you tap it once to click, just like any other touchpad. I love the zoom-in zoom out with two fingers.

No... it is a touchpad with touchscreen software simulation for Windows 8 gestures. It works as if you are touching the screen, so the effect is the same. For instance you can enlarge or diminish a screen view by pinching apart or together on the touchpad to get the zoom effect of doing the same on a capacitive touchscreen.

Just plugged it in to try. Scrolling, left-click and right-click zone work. Other multifinger gestures (define, mission control, next/prev desktop, zoom) do not. I even opened USB Overdrive and it doesn't recognize the gestures as events coming from the trackpad. So, it works, but is missing most gestures.

This keyboard has a TrackPoint only. This keyboard does NOT have a touch pad, TrackPad, Magic Pad, etc. Two-finger scroll, as far as I know, is a touch surface gesture that does not apply to this piece of equipment.

Yes. Actually Justin, the question asker, has the answer in his Review. Out of the box the Back and Forward mouse buttons don't work, but if you use BetterTouchTool, you can add custom key bindings to those buttons and map them to any action (including Back and Forward) you want! You can download it here: http://www.boastr.net/ The assigned actions you want are 3F Swipe Left (Page Back) and 3F Swipe Right (Page Forward) thats under "Predefined Actions" -&gt; "Mimicking standard gestures"

You can setup custom gestures in certain programs, I am not sure if you can use the mouse to open a program though.

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

If, by "multi-touch", you mean the capability to use two fingers to pinch or spread the screen image ... then the answer is yes.

Yes you can have both a mouse and touchpad connected and turned on and use them interchangeably

multi gesture, but the pad is also the means for clicking, and it is a bit difficult to get right-click vs. left-click right every time.

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, select-drag and double tap works the same as typical mouse or trackpad. you can program how functions respond to different gestures (e.g. tap by different number of fingers). overall it's fairly slick :)

Your palm could be bumping the touchpad. I know this happens to me a lot. I also have this same netbook and noticed I am bumping the touchpad more often.

You can use them at the same time. This keypad basically becomes part of the keyboard.

It is similar to mac touchpad. One finger single click two finger double click
