Additionally the button placement was weird, I was only comfortable using the bottom left (thumb) and top right button (ring finger). Quote from: pyro on Mon, 30 July 2012, 16:00:26 When I increased the pointer speed to a comfortable level the cursor jumped 4 pixel at a time. *** not a big shooter fan and probably would've used my mouse for that anyway ** Most laptop touchpads are made by them. * It took a whole brown cherry spring + slight force to actuate, while my Logitech G9's and the Slimblade's buttons actuated just before the spring was completely compressed. So I'm going to stick with the Slimblade, which probably also is more ergonomical, since my wrist moves less using it. ![]() Not a deal-breaker for me (***), but still a slight turn-off in the first few minutes. Unfortunately its buttons were hard to press (*YES! I measured!!1) and felt kind of springy, and Logitech's drivers aren't as configurable as Synaptics'(**). It looks chubby in pictures, but actually it's pretty nice. While I deeply disliked the Wacom tablet, because it fails so very badly in almost every way possible, i found the Logitech Touchpad te be quite pleasant. I tried two other devices before the Slimblade, namely the Wacom Bomboo Pen and Touch and the Logitech Wireless Touchpad. Also, my concerns, it would not allow fast enough mouse movement for lack of dpi, were unfounded. I love the sound that it produces, it's like fine tuning a delicate mechanical instrument. Scrolling (rotating the ball horizontally) can easily be done using only one finger. The buttons are easy to press (left click with thumb - finally!) and the Trackballworks software allows to remap them to almost anything, although it misses a setting to increase the scrollevents/rotation ratio.
