Do the touch controls work well with Windows 8?

If you install Logitech Set point software it works fine. I wont suggest you to buy it. I had a battery leak and i stopped using. Its not comfortable to use as mouse pad. There is another version where u can use a mouse on extending pad. I suggest you to buy that. Regards,Darshan

Yes, and no. The driver gives you the three functions listed above. There are no other touchpad functions supported and Logitech apparently has no intention of expanding that functionality. So, you get basic mouse functions with the buttons below. one tap is left mouse click, two fingers is scroll and three fingers is back and forward. Two finger tap doesn't work. Pinch/Zoom doesn't work, etc.

No - it doesn't have a touch screen, which can be useful with Windows 8, but I haven't had any problems with it so far.

I haven't tried it with windows 8 only android. I will try it on my 8.1 laptop when I get a chance. write to isharkk dot com . they are super folks!

No, using the scrolling aspect does not impart any feedback beyond seeing the result onscreen. And it only scrolls, no other Windows 8 touch function, such as edge functions.

I returned mine, it wouldnt load properly and the windows 8 was such a pain without touchscreen capabilities.

I buy these for point of sale systems at my work. I've only played with them for a few minutes myself but if I recall correctly, the touches are just registered as left mouse clicks. I don't remember installing software (though it may come with drivers and such) and everything worked fine. So you shouldn't run into any issues.

Yes, it does. Touchless, the mouse driver, is limited though as Windows 7 does not support multi touch.

As I said, Windows 7 wasn't really designed for touch interfacing so it will never be perfect. I found it had some use, but your mileage may vary. Windows 8 should run ok on that machine. You could consider upgrading. it was designed for touch from the start. Still may not be what you're looking for though. If you want something that can best be able to take advantage ot touch, I would suggest some form of tablet (iPad, Android, etc)

*Windows 8.1 compatible *2 finger support*You can use both touch and mouse at the same time.

This mouse will work with Windows 8 as a basic mouse but it doesn't interpret the touch gestures.

Works very well with windows 8. Although, with windows 8 you'll find you rarely use the touchpad and start using the touchscreen a lot more.

The one I bought does not. And it's problem, because Windows 8 is awkward without a touchscreen.

You can always pay for Windows 7 and it should work fine. All the drivers are seemingly available for both operating systems. Since it doesn't use touchscreen, you won't be missing out on any fancy Metro gestures.

No it's not touchscreen, but it's Windows 8 and an amazing purchase! Does that help?

No - so you cannot take advantage of the Windows 8 touch-screen functionalities on this laptop

The short answer is, SOMETIMES. It's a very touchy program with Windows 8. Very frustrating when it doesn't always work properly. I often regret having wasted my money on it.

The question is, will it do multi-touch things like pinch and zoom with Windows 8?
