Touchpads & similar devices - any good?

[Duke]

Anyone use one & what are they like?
I know they are aimed more at Windows 8 users but are they good enough to use as a mouse replacement for general navigation in W7?
I already use a Logitech Trackball Mouse on all my computers but I'd like to have a Touchpad on the sim rig as I could sit it in my lap & not reach out to the desk & around the steering wheel.
So I'm think of getting the Logitech T650 for around $70 which is not cheap if they're next to useless: http://www.logitech.com/en-au/product/t ... ?crid=1153" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Actually I just found this lower spec model for $35: http://www.logitechshop.com.au/logitech ... stage.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Anyone used that online shop &/or can vouch if it is legit?

Cause at that price I'm willing to try one.

Been using a Apple touchpad on the iMac for ages.

I bought it for the bride to use but could never get the fucker working in Win7.

Takes some getting used to and on the odd occasion is a fucking arse ache. Most times though, it is great.

Tks Neil, I'll grab it from them if CPL don't have one over the counter when I go there today.

logitech shop are really good, as they usually offer free shipping. Cant complain about that!!

Well CPL didn't have any stock so I've placed an order with the logitech shop.

Norbs came up with a great idea today, that is to try mount the touchpad onto the G25 in the middle of the steering wheel.
I'll see if that a worthy idea once I get it.
