Swing and a miss

I consider it a bad omen that the folks from eFun have not responded to any of the negative reviews with fixes, or requests to contact them directly, as many other manufacturers do. Given my experiences I cannot recommend the product at this time,...

Intriguing idea. I think many people would like some form of touch capability, even when they don't have a touch screen monitor

Inside the box, we have the pen, two batteries, USB receiver, two stick-on magnets, and two pen refills for the tip. Instructions were straight forward; however the drivers for the pen come on a mini-cd. One of the computers I tried this on had a...

Touch 8 XN800 Black USB 2.0 IR Wireless Touch Pen

I have used Drawing Tablets before (BOTH the Wireless AND the Wired type) and I must say that I like the functionality of them MUCH better than I did this product. I still use some Drawing Tablets to this day and have both 8' and 10' Versions. But...

This device comes with 2 batteries, 2 Magnet Strips, 2 Brushes, 1 Brush Detector, 1 pouch to hold everything, 1 PEN, 1 Driver CD, 1 (Double-Sided) Instruction set, and 1 USB Cable ; I like the fact that it came with 2 Magnet Strips. This would make it...

I have to admit that this is a neat little idea BUT it's just too bad that it doesn't fulfill it's promises, at least under Windows 7 (64BIT) ; Under Win 7 the functionality is VERY LIMITED! I myself found the Mouse easier to use as the PEN is sometime...

A work in progess?

Although this is being marketed at a way to enjoy the Windows 8 touchscreen experience on a conventional laptop, I had a rather specific reason for wanting this product to deliver. I use my Acer AO756 laptop in the kitchen to follow recipes, check...

Theoretically turns any Windows 7 or Windows 8 laptop display into a touchscreen. Nicely packaged with clear instructions. Offers a taste of what Windows 8 touch apps are like for conventional pc's. Stylus can also serve as digital pen for making...

Mounting to side of display is flimsy. Touch response is a bitt laggy, inconsistent and extremely fiddly on conventional desktop apps

Great Idea... didn't really deliver

First I think the eFun Touch 8 is in theory a great concept and one, that with a little polish could really provide consumers with exactly what they need for a windows 8 laptop/pc that does not natively support a touch screen. the largest issue I...

Fairly inexpensive when you consider what it is supposed to do ; came with plenty of supplies and extras ; Instructions were very easy to read and implement ; has a convenient pouch for storage

poor sensitivity ; very laggy and unresponsive ; poor accuracy with touches

Useful device.

Even if you have a touch-enabled W8 device, if you're a bit compulsive about keeping your electronics extremely clean & tidy like me, you could use this and not get your screen dirty with fingerprints. Note, this also works with Windows 7. I tested it...

The included instruction manual is clear and setup/installation of the device is a breeze (took less than a couple minutes). I tested this on two non-touch screen laptops and a desktop PC, all with Windows 8 installed. I have not noticed any input lag,...

None, really. It works as advertised

Average Product

Before I get started I would like to include my test system. This unit was connected to a HP laptop with Intel i5, 8 GB RAM, 120 GB ssd on Windows 8 x64 Pro. I was very excited when I first received this product because I tested a few touch screen...

Easy Implementation ; Small Footprint ; Universal

High Latency (Laggy) ; Low Sensitivity ; Does not work great on some bezels
