How is the touchpad? Too sensitive? Click ok? What about keyboard - what are people's opinions on how easy/difficult it is to type on this?

The keyboard and mouse is not the best thing in the world. The sensitivity of the mouse is decent. The keyboard will be a bit uncomfortable to type with.

I haven't had any problems with the touchpad or the keyboard. I think they work fine.

I'm not a touchpad fan so I have a wireless mouse. However, when I do use it, it is calibrated quite well. I never feel that it is too sensitive. The keyboard is great. It's very comfortable.

For me the touchpad is smooth and responds nicely. I do pair mine though with a wireless mouse often or I'll use a stylus. Hope this helps! It is a great ultrabook!

I find it frustrating for simple desktop use. It will sometimes click things when you don't want it to. It's not precise or very accurate. It sometimes goes off on its tangent i.e it'll drift to the edge for no reason. It's terrible really. Use a mouse it'll cut down on the frustration level immensely. However I will add that as of now the trackpad is officially the only problem I have with it. Fanstastic computer otherwise.

no problem with the touchpad. I'm very happy with Adesso products .... i have a couple of their keyboards.... and they are fantastic

It's not great. The keyboard has to be on an absolutely flat surface, and even then, often I found that I would either not get anything when I typed, or if I pressed harder, would get multiple letters. You have to get the hang of it, and type very deliberately. I haven't used mine much, frankly.

I think you may have a problem with the touchpad. Mine works fine right out of the box. You shouldn't have to do anything to make it work.

I use the trackpad in bed (I have a bad back and use a computer table as well). I have the touch gestures enabled so that i can tap instead of click. If you have the trackpad set up this way, you can use it on a soft surface.

I haven't found it to be difficult. The touchpad is centered under the qwerty keyboard, with the number keypad to the right. I use the number keypad a lot for data entry, so it's nice not to worry about accidentally resting my wrist on the touchpad.

The click isn't that much different than the "click" on a laptop's keyboard. I personally like the touch & feel of the keys, having purchased & returned other keyboards without a solid keystroke feel. The "click" is part of the keystroke design, not just a sound that can be turned off like on your smartphone.

It's sensitive but as far as using all the touchpad gestures I'm gonna go ahead and say no because it's too small to be practical. However, on the bottom of the touchpad there is a small stripe for scrolling which can easily be done with one thumb. Unless you have the hands of a newborn baby I wouldn't plan on using gestures : )

The touchpad handles right clicks by tap in the lower right hand corner. There is no physical button and there is no click noise. It works well. By the way, I've been using Chromebooks recently, and I thought they had a two finger tap for a right click, but maybe not. That's another story.

I mainly use the trackpad, which took me about a week to get used to, as I had never used a laptop before. When I bought my Macbook, I also purchased (about $50) a wireless mouse, which now sits unused in my bag, as I actually prefer to use the trackpad and its neat, two finger scrolling feature.Using the keyboard was a bit different as well, but now it feels weird to type on anything else. They keys are raised squares and it is quite easy to type on, albeit, it may take a few days to get used to, just like anything different, I guess. Hope this helps...

it Works Fine But It Feels Rough. I Don't Like The Roughness On My Fingers. And With Windows 8, Using A Touchpad Instead Of Mouse Is Problematic. Like Everything Else On Windows 8.

I like the keyboard but the buttons on the touchpad are clunky. You really need to use a lot of pressure when pressing them.

Unfortunately no. I have a hatred for touchpads as well. But it rarely causes any issues. I will say this computer in general is fantastic. Super fast, very reliable. Great looking too.

Hi you can tap the pad easily or use the clicks on the lower pad. I actually use the button click more personally but both work great!

I think the keyboard is easy to use, but I don't remember if it was difficult at first. I don't think it was, or I would probably remember that.
