![]() Last, but certainly not least, we'll have to point out that the USB Multi-Touch Pad from Thanko is actually a fairly affordable accessory, given the fact that it sells in Japan for just around 2980 Japanese yen, the equivalent of 36.32024 U.S. Plus, it grants users just about the same level of freedom as granted by just about any mouse out there, given the fact that it connects to a host computer via an USB 2.0 interface measuring 115cm.

You toggle between normal touchpad operation and numeric keypad with a large 'mode' button. Thus, the Japanese company's USB Multi-Touch Pad was born, a device that delivers (roughly) the same level of functionality as the Magic Trackpad, but on a PC running the Windows 7 operating system (that, as you all probably know already, offers native support for touch controls). The mouse properties are located in the Windows 'control panel'. The cursor jumps or sometimes doesnt react Fixing Input Lag and Slow Chrome Performance on Windows 7.

To be honest, I was quite impressed when getting to use the Magic Trackpad for the first (and only) time, given the fact that it was the first-ever multi-touch desktop controller I'd ever come across, and it seems that the people over at Thanko have decided that, in the age of multi-touch, such a controller, featuring an USB connection and working with Windows 7 PCs, might actually be quite a good idea. NOTE: Not all touchpad features above are available on all machines.
