Is the surface actually clickable? As in do I receive tactile feedback when doing a left or right click?

the surface is not click-able, it does not feel like the conventional mouse where the clicker is on the top part, the clicker is at the bottom so it will take more that the usual effort to do so and sometimes the mouse can not recognize if its left or right click.

Yes the surface is clickable took a few days to get used to it there is no right or left button you just click right or left side if mouse . Once I got used it for awhile I really like the mouse

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.

I am using the HP mouse as I am answering these questions. No, the scroll wheel does not do right and left. Yes, it does have a click.

yes, the touch pad does not have a division separating it from the usual area along the bottom! usually you use the left side as the left side click of a mouse and the right side as the right side click button of a mouse. on this computer the whole touch pad is the same to the touch; if you want to click the bottom right side, you cannot feel the cross between it and the left side. they put a line in between the two but there is no touch sensation as your finger crosses the line; at least they should have etched the 1/2" line so you can feel it! I got around it by placing a small amount of glue on the line so I can feel it when I want to "click" the bottom right side of the pad.

Technically no, but it still has a really good responsiveness to it with a good amount of feedback. The click noise is pretty audible.

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, it does make noise when you click, because clicking requires a mechanical compression of the click area. (the swipe functions use electrical touch sensing, and it can sense taps, but clicking still requires a physical push down). Its quieter than many mice, but not silent. All mice that use mechanical motion will make some amount of clicking noise. What you want is a "mouse" that has no mechanical motion at all and uses electo-sensing to indicate taps. There's probably something out there if you look around, but note that the only difference between such a non-clicking mouse and a touchpad, is that you can't physically move a touchpad to move the pointer. So maybe you should just get a larger side touchpad instead - there are plenty of those on the market.

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.

No. You can R and L click. It doesnt have buttons, so it appears that you can't Click left or right but you most definately can. Its a pretty cool mouse!

Yes, these mice have the right click (mine set to menu). I'm on a Mac as well running 10.7.5 and they work fine, the only negative being the little scroll button only allows up and down scrolling (no left or right). I'm living just fine without that feature, having been accustomed to using the slide bars.

I can't say with certainty that the first two posts are incorrect, but they do not feel mechanical to me. The tactile feedback on them is extremely poor, and there's virtually no auditory feedback to speak of. The primary buttons (on the top) are definitely mechanical, but I really doubt the ones on the side are.

The tapping function equivalent to the click of a mouse needs a hard surface to work. I just tried it with the trackpad on a hard surface and a pillow. It did not work when on the pillow.

I buy these for point of sale systems at my work. I've only played with them for a few minutes myself but if I recall correctly, the touches are just registered as left mouse clicks. I don't remember installing software (though it may come with drivers and such) and everything worked fine. So you shouldn't run into any issues.

It has never happened to me. The keys are relatively flat and require some force to click so i have not had a problem

Never tried it. I don't use the mouse very often, nor do I use the MS SurfacePro. I should sell both.

The mouse responds to touching when you move your fingers up, down or sideways of course... If you want to click you have to press either the left or right button. This pressing does not require much strength though, it repsonds to the lightest of pressures and is, as such, not comparable to the "ordinary" mouse...

You can use it on a soft surface, but it makes it difficult to "click" it to select something because it does need to press onto something hard.

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 :)
