I have had numerous problems with all sort of cursor moves and other maneuverability . Disappointed....could be so much more user friendly.

Sorry, but I'm old-fashioned and usually use a mouse. However, I can turn the touchpad on or off using "Control" with the (F6) key; you might try that.

i read somewhere online that this is not a true multi-touch trackpad, meaning it takes your multi-touch gestures and convert them to appropriate Windows keyboard shortcuts.If I remember correctly, this was based on reports that multi-touch gestures do not work on some linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint, etc.)You can go to MS store and try their display model to see if it works on your mac or ask the Dell.I personally recommend a mouse if you are using it on laptop. I bought it for my desktop but a good mouse has much better/faster control and so this thing went back in the box. i read somewhere online that this is not a true multi-touch trackpad, meaning it takes your multi-touch gestures and convert them to appropriate Windows keyboard shortcuts.If I remember correctly, this was based on reports that multi-touch gestures do not work on some linux distro (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint, etc.)You can go to MS store and try their display model to see if it works on your mac or ask the Dell.I personally recommend a mouse if you are using it on laptop.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help. I don't have this issue with my 725-0687. One way is to use a mouse, as this will avoid having to use the touchpad. Not a proper solution though, so I'd be inclined to complain to Amazon and ask for a return ticket for either a repair or a replacement.

You can get them on eBay for $30 to $35,used, in seemingly nice condition. I have had three M570s. All started off great but within a year or two, the cursor would periodically stop moving. I had to smack the mouse on my desk to get it going again. Tech support could not resolve the issue. Just bought the corded version so will hopefully be more reliable.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

I use the touchpad only and have not had problems with it. Sometimes the cursor jumps when I am typing, but I have had this occasionally with other computers. Hope this is helpful.

What did you reprogram them to in the mouse utility? I did mine to my number pad and it works fine in WoW.

I haven't owned one of these for years, but I recall the touch screen working just fine. Windows 7 wasn't really designed for touch interaction so it will never be perfect. But if it's not working at all, that's another issue. My guess would be that you need to install a driver. That should be fairly easy to find on Dell's website. Of course, there may be a physical hardware issue as well Impossible to guess at this end. Best of luck with it. It is a neat little machine.

I haven't had that issue yet; however, I am finding out that I do not like the "touch" of the keyboard. Rather have my old large Microsoft ergonomic keyboard with the ten key attached, but it became too large for my keyboard tray. In fact the separate ten key pad has stopped working. It might require batteries but have not taken the time to find the battery compartment since I rather use the number keys on my keyboard. One other thing that has happened to me is my keyboard totally stopped working for awhile. Found out it could have been my USB port that went bad. Reinstalled in the software in another port and it is appears to be working fine now. Sorry if this isn't any help to you.

Ihave Two of the 3M devices, one at work and one at home. Three comments1) the pain in my left forearm and elbo has lessened greatly (love the product) (2) I have had no issues with either device right out of the box, they worked great (3) suggest going to control panel and in the search window (assuming you are on a PC not a Mac) then type in "mouse". Look thru the functions, and reset to your desire bet you can resolve your issue. Have you contacted the seller or manufacturer for assistance? there you havit.

Thanks DSY! My plan is to use an external mouse. I've never been able to get use to any notebook pointer device except ThinkPad's little red pointer. Appreciate the response.Anyone else want to comment?

i have windows 7 64 bit and i had issues with it. updated firware and all. Got the replacement and it did the same thing. Updated that firmware and same thing. The pointer just randomly moves on its own. It is an issue with this operating system you can google it. Tracking issue for mamba mouse. They say it could be from having stuff like hard drives running on the computer desk but not in my case just my keyboard and mouse and monitor.

Hasn't happened to me. Occasionally it would make the cursor jiggle a little when I'm hovering the pen so I turned off touch gestures. This is because I have a laptop and I just alternate between the touchpad and the tablet. Personal preference.

I experienced the same issue from time. It sometimes worked when I use the brutal force to connect the keyboard and the tablet. After a while the tablet was damaged by that. The screen has a vertical black area above the connection port. My suggestion is not to use the keyboard at all. Just return it.

There is a mouse lock icon that I occasionally hit. It is on the touch pad. At first I thought It was broken, but it was just that.
