Is it long range, or does it have to touch the pad?

It has to be lined up perfectly on the pad. It does require direct contact.

Hi there. I've had some form of this technology for a bunch of years now and I think it's awesome and easy, but to answer your question, most of these cases and pads have magnets in so you you know exactly where to lay it down. So to answer the question it has to be touching. I'm sorry I made this a long reply and I hope it makes sense. Take care. John

They don't intend it to be long range. On most of my phones it did not work.

We have a fairly large house and yard and never had an issue with the range inside or out. If you're going beyond ~75 yards I can't really comment b/c never tried to use it further than that. The problem with this device though is NOT the range...it's the delay you must suffer through between when you click to 'wake up' the remote and when you are actually able to deliver the shock. In my experience the delay was so long that the dog had finished doing the bad thing before I could shock him. I suggest not buying this model and looking for one that is always on and ready to work exactly when you need it.

The actual device has a wide claw range, which I was concerned about too!! But you should be fine because it has a very wide range. Obviously when they designed this product, that was a concern to them too! MM

The range is from slightly warm to very hot. But the heating element is very inconsistent. This is my second heating pad the first one stopped working altogether. So sometimes it works just as the element says and other times it doesn't hardly get hot at all and then sometimes it's too hot even on the lowest setting. So you're taking a risk purchasing this one.

I have tested the range, and it works very well at long-distance. I can't ever see it not work, because by that time I'm too far away to see the screen. I'd say the range max is probably 35 feet.

It should. I unfortunately had to return it, as it was a bit too sensitive in going off at the slightest movement off the pad.

Reliably, it seems like about 1" distance for detection. You can often get a bit further, sometimes up to 3" but it doesn't always reject touch. Another option would be to temporarily disable the touch screen from the control panel if you are going to be doing only stylus work for a while and then re-enable it when you're wanting touch again. This is what I do with my Surface Pro 2.

It seems to help, but there are other factors affecting reception such as direction and height of the pad where you put it.

Both. If you set the Bluetooth on your laptop to be "discoverable" you will see it with your phone. I haven't tried to test range, but I would not expect much. I primarily use it just for a Bluetooth mouse which I had bought for another laptop with built in Bluetooth.

I favored the touchpad and being over bluetooth for the application I'm using it on. Overall I'm quite happy with it for the price. Hope that helps :)

Yes. It can be very frustrating, however if you use the hot keys fn+f7 you can turn the touch pad on and off.

Yes that's what I do. The touch pad is so quirky you almost have to use an external mouse. The only caveat is that there is only one USB port so if you're using a wireless mouse you can't use the USB port for anything else.

I haven't used it with the desktop just my laptop, however the range that i have tested at so far is about 7 feet.

I don't have any issues with the touch pad. The fact that it is also touch screen, sometimes I forget I have a touchpad!

The range is quiet sufficient. Keep in mind you want to fly this thing in an open area and want to keep it at a distance where you can view it and control it thru your phone/tablets wifi. The range for that isnt going to be too far either. I felt that it was sufficient distance to play around with it.

It's a stylus... instead of using your finger to touch the pad, you use the stylus. take the cap off and there is a rubber tip on the end. That is what you touch the screen with. For when not in use I plug the end of it (with the string attached) into my phone.

No it doesn't. As soon as the pen tip is near the work space, the pen is the priority so touching the pad when the pen tip is near the pad won't do anything.
