“Now that I’ve used it more, a larger surface area would be good. Also, just a bit thinner and slightly steeper angle of surface. Had a weird instance where cursor movement lagged behind finger movement. Turning on and off fixed that but I’ve never had that with my Mac touchpad ... and that’s what this is being compared to.”

“...except I wish the instructions were more detailed, with maybe a diagram or something. I've never seen a charging cable with two C ends before, and my Dell all-in-one doesn't seem to have a C receptacle, only USB ports. I tried using a regular charging cable with a C end and a USB end, but that doesn't seem to work.”

“I love using the apple touchpad, so when I had to switch to Windows I went looking. This is a quality piece of tech that really help transition from a mac experience. One thing that drives me nuts is the auto sleep feature. Several times a day I will be on a virtual meeting, then I will get asked a question, I go to use my trackpad and it is asleep. It takes an eternity for the thing to wake back up when you have people staring at you. I asked if this could be turned off and it cannot. It's a really big drawback. Other than that, it feels about 85% like the Magic Trackpad.”

“Bought this last month and loved it out out of the box. Worked wonderful for several weeks, then the connectivity issues kicked in. Connect, reconnect, connect, reconnect, connect... you get the point. I can get two to three hours of solid connectivity (even while plugged in), then BOOM!! it freezes on me. Repeat process. and lose time and money. I tried it on two other Windows devices, EXACT same results. I really did like it, but it is to much of a pain in the ass to spend an hour a day playing with it.”

“This device is pretty good. In regards to other types of Windows trackpads, it’s the best! However, I got it because I’m a mac user and the office FORCED Windows on me. In comparison to the Magic Trackpad 2, it’s an also ran. Primarily because Windows implementation of trackpad features is lackluster. It feels good, smooth, but it’s a bit small. I have trouble with right-clicking and wish there were a modifier key i could use that would let me turn a click into a right click. Tracking is great and charging is really good. Overall I’m pleased. I know some ppl say it stops working but I haven't experienced that in the 2weeks i've had it. However, it does go into power save after being dormant and clicking or sliding the on/off switch will wake it. I didn't see that documented but i rarely read manuals.”

“Who decided on hard-coding a ten minute sleep timeout with no settings software available? It even goes to sleep with a charging cable connected(!) "Watch a movie or type in a document for more than ten minutes? Who does that?" Multi-touch gestures are unable to wake it, so often the workflow with this product is: "Work > Swipe > ... > What? Oh, right.. > Click down > Wait for wakeup > Swipe again > Continue" Instead of just: "Work > Swipe > Continue" I have Windows set to use "tap with a single finger to click". When the w-touch has gone to sleep, why doesn't it even wake up when I click (tap, as the setting) the mouse button? I can wake the whole computer with a mouse click but not this touchpad? "But why don't you just click?" Some users have problems physically clicking down on a mouse button or touchpad but have no problem using tap-to-click. They can't use this product after it goes into sleep mode (after 10 minutes). To the people at Brydge; Would you say that users for whom accessibility is important should look elsewhere for inclusive products? In that case, do you have any competing products you can recommend? I'm sure the project that resulted in this touchpad solved a lot of hard technical problems and maximized the battery time and so on. Too bad they lost track of what the product should actually do on the way.”

“4 stars for it's the only thing in its category. But it's still far from reliable and responsive. Here are the issues: 1. It's not responsive. Every time I wake up desktop up, it loses connection, and I have to wait 10+ minutes before I resume any connection 2. There is a minor but noticeable "imprecision" on the cursor when you move it on the trackpad. 3. Because of the mentioned imprecision, if you try to do a pinch-in/out on it, you might find the result unsatisfying. 4. The trackpad is not large enough, compare it to the magic trackpad 2, you will see the difference. 5. It's surface is not dust-resistant, I always find a dust-feel on its surface.”
