Digital camera reviews of Adesso Easy Cat 2 Button Glidepoint Touchpad (Black)
Digital camera Review: Works as specified
Summary: 5 Stars
My job has me on the computer with intensive mouse use in technical programs 8 to 10 hours per day. I have battled mouse fatigue in my right hand and arm for years and had found the touchpad on my laptop to provide a nice left hand alternative to the right arm problems. I finally decided to try EasyCat external touchpad to provide a similar option for the desktop computers that I have to use. It works as specified and provides the relief I need. The only thing that might be better is to have a touchpad built into the left side of a keyboard, but I'm not aware of that option in any product. This works great so far.Digital camera Review: Works great with Linux
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading the reviews on this product I was unsure what type of experience I would have using this product with Linux. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and the touch pad worked right out of the box including the right click and scroll areas. From my usage it has been a solid touchpad that does what I wanted it to do.Digital camera Review: Works great with Ubuntu
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to try to help take some strain off of my wrist from overuse of a mouse. The product works as advertised. I have no complaints, and it works out of the box with Ubuntu Linux (ver 9.10).Digital camera Review: Works okay but sure wish there was an enhanced driver
Summary: 2 Stars
I am one of those people who hates the "tap touchpad to select" feature of touchpads and promptly turns it off whenever I can. I suspect that my rather large hands are responsible for a lot of false positives. Anyway this touchpad doesn't come with an enhanced driver so all I am left with is the default firmware programming of the touchpad, which in this case includes "tap touchpad to select". As a result the two units I purchased now sit in a drawer, unused and gathering dust. If you don't like the "tap touchpad to select" feature either, pass on this one.Digital camera Review: far better than a mouse !
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I got My 1st computer in the early 90's I've always had a glide pad.
I find them so much easier to use than a traditional mouse.
After having My latest computer built, the glide-pad would'nt work and I had to resort to a mouse.
When I finally found a replacement with a USB cord I was very happy!
Although I could't get the ratings/attributes to work on this review page, I would give this item 5 stars all around!
The ease of use is top notch and the quality of materials is excellent.
Now if I can just find a wireless version.....
Highly recommended !
