ProtoArc T1 Plus Wireless Trackpad for Windows10/11(NOT for Mac), Rechargeable Bluetooth Touchpad Mouse with Multi-Gesture Support for PC Laptop Notebook Desktop Computer - Black

A nice size touch pad replacement, holds a good charge, connects easy enough via Bluetooth and all the usual gesture commands work. This device improves on using most built in touch pads but doesn't really replace a good mouse..

Great product, sensitive, large track pad. The poor reviews nearly put me off, however I am glad I tried it for myself. I highly recommend.

EDIT - My original 2 star review is below. As promised, I'm updating my review, having used this trackpad for a few days. I'm afraid the Bluetooth stability, random movements and pointer accuracy have driven me to return this item. Now just one star for looking and feeling the part! ------------- Here’s my impartial review of this trackpad, which I actually bought. This seems something of a novelty, looking at the favourable reviews. At first, I bought the silver option. I paid £50 for mine, which is pretty steep. Then the black option had an offer of £20 off, so the silver was returned and the black one purchased instead at a much more reasonable £30. Incidentally, there is no difference in performance or feel between the black and silver versions. I bought the trackpad as a secondary controller for my Win11 PC, specifically for the multi-scrolling ability when using my Ableton Live DAW software. I love the Apple trackpad on my MacBook Pro and wanted something similar for my PC. Obviously, I wasn’t expecting the same quality from this trackpad – and I can confirm it is nowhere near as nice to use. This is Bluetooth only, as stated in the blurb. The included cable is only for charging and does not support wired communication with a PC. In fact, you may well get a USB error from your PC reporting that it does not recognise the attached device. That’s fine. By the way, those stating that Windows doesn’t see this as a proper trackpad (or touchpad!) are mistaken. It behaves exactly as it should with Windows and is fully configurable through Window’s touchpad settings. This comes nicely boxed, with a peel-off protective film in place. My first observation, once the protective film was peeled off, was the trackpad surface itself. It’s actually a very smooth satin finish which feels OK. Not as nice as an Apple trackpad though. Connecting with my Win11 PC via Bluetooth was effortless. The trackpad can operate on up to 3 channels, enabling use with up to 3 different devices. Switch the trackpad on, then select the channel you want to connect with the button on the rear. Once your chosen channel is lit, press and hold the button to put the trackpad into discoverable mode. Go to the PC’s BT settings and click add device. Within a couple of seconds, my trackpad was visible and added with no problems. Once added, you can go to your PC’s touchpad settings and tweak the curser speed, gestures and tap settings. On windows 11 this settings page is within the Bluetooth settings. Just do a windows search for ‘touchpad’. You can also see the trackpad battery level in these settings. As stated, this trackpad has dedicated left and right physical click areas. These are ok but a little cumbersome to use with one hand if, say, you are wanting to click and drag a window. Also, the trackpad continues to track movements over these regions, which can cause the trackpad to move the cursor away from the item you want to click on as you press down. These regions require a relatively deep press compared to some trackpads. They are, of course, physical switches and not haptic. To be honest, I prefer the tap functions for left and right clicking etc. These are enabled by default. A single finger tap is a left click and a two-finger tap is a right click. Also, a double tap and hold with one finger will behave like a left click and drag. So, moving items around on your desktop or within software windows is relatively easy with tapping and dragging. I’ve actually turned the right-click region off in my Windows touchpad settings because it’s so much easier to just tap with two fingers to perform a right click. All gestures from 1 to 4 finger work as they should and are completely configurable in your Windows touchpad settings. In use, I found the trackpad to be relatively accurate, but with perhaps limited resolution with finer movements. Certainly not the fine resolution you’d expect from a built-in laptop trackpad. Pinpointing very fine areas can be a little frustrating as the trackpad has a tendency to over-shoot a tiny amount with slight finger movements. I did find myself preferring to make the more accurate selections with my Microsoft Bluetooth mouse to be honest. For my purposes it’s good that I now have the same two-finger scrolling gestures on my PC that I’m used to on my laptop. I just wish the pointer resolution was as good as my Bluetooth mouse. Thankfully the two devices play nicely with each other! There is also a tendency, in my experience, for the trackpad to suddenly & randomly move the pointer a large amount. This is most likely a Bluetooth issue. Thankfully it doesn’t happen too often, but when it does, it’s incredibly frustrating. Certainly my Bluetooth mouse has never done this, so it appears to be an issue with the trackpad. The trackpad will sleep automatically to preserve battery life. This is normal with Bluetooth peripherals. A tap will wake it pretty much instantly with only a little wake up lag. Overall, I definitely think is this over-priced at £50. The £30 I paid is much more appropriate pricing. This is not such a high-end product in my opinion. I’m keeping an eye on the pointer accuracy and occasional random movements. In the end they may prove too frustrating for me and a return may be on the cards. I’ll continue to test it and I promise to update this review if things change. My 2 star rating reflects the overall performance of the trackpad plus the high price tag when at full price.

Works fine when I'm working on the go, battery lasts a decent amount of time. It's fairly light, but solidly out together, and the track pad itself is nice and big. Having 3 Bluetooth channels is a nice bonus. He warned, though, most of the complaints I read, before I purchased this, were about it not working on MacOS (despite what some of the product pictures seem to suggest). I have a MacBook lying around, tried it, and van confirm: this device only works with Linux and Windows. On both of those systems, it's as easy as pairing any bt device. Good to go in seconds.

Great size, works fairly well but 3 stars because small/fine movements are very sketchy and inaccurate. Big movements are fine. Cursor lag is a thing with this, plus cursor drifting. So I'm looking to return this and buy something better, especially for the price of this item.

Perfect

This is a very good, responsive trackpad that was easy to set up. It's just a shame that it would maintain a Bluetooth connection for very long. I read all the advice on how to get it working but even though it was the only device using Bluetooth on my PC it would not hold the connection and a restart was the only solution that worked. This became very annoying as you can imagine so I returned it for a refund. Your mileage may vary of course.

I bought this to use whilst recovery from hand surgery - I needed to use my non-dominant hand and found i was really useless with a mouse. This trackpad does the job perfectly and is nicely made - think i might continue using it even when hand has healed.
