I love my Adesso glidepoint touchpad!

I've been using the Adesso glidepoint touchpad for about eight years. The model I bought in ~2002 is still going strong. I am convinced that this handy little device has saved me from serious repetitive motion injury. These days, if I use a mouse for...

great glide

Very happy with the glidepoint. Only downfall is that it's so light it likes to slide around the desktop. Solved with a piece of non slip rubber underneath it.

Easy Cat vs. Wrist Pain

Great prevention for shoulder pain

 

Great prevention for shoulder pain

The external touchpad mouse is one of the best ways to control the adverse impact of mouse use. Keep your hand, arm and shoulder in more relaxed postions when mousing.

Product Specifications

Why push a mouse when you can just point? Adesso's Easy Cat with GlidePoint Technology makes it easier than ever to control your PC. Simply glide your finger over the surface of the pad and gently tap on the pad or click the buttons to perform all cursor movement functions. Plus Easy Cat's solid-state design means no inconvenient breakdowns and no moving parts to clean! Right click by tapping your finger in the upper right corner of the touchpad; left click by tapping anywhere else on the pad's surface. Right tap area is marked with a change of color and texture, and is a Microsoft plug-and-play feature. Stop running off the edge of your mouse pad! Edge extenders hold your place on-screen when your finger reaches the touchpad's edge. The area is marked on the pad surface with a change of texture, and is a plug-and-play feature. Clicks can be activated both on the touchpad surface and on the lower button set. Drag, draw, and highlight functions can be activated by double-tapping and holding your finger on the pad, or by holding the left click button as your finger glides.
