Touchpad for Windows desktop PC
 
I need a good touchpad because with my disabilities, I can’t use a mouse. I love the Apple rack pad i have, but i can’t use it with Windows. Can anybody here recommend one? I’m trying one called “Jelly comb” which is very good, but has some features i can’t use. I’’m finding it difficult to find one that i can use.

Is a trackball within consideration? With a trackball, you're using only a finger or two and you don't have to move your whole hand like you do with a trackpad.

Otherwise, these Ergo Touchpads seem interesting.

What features are you trying to use on the Jelly Comb but can’t? Generally Jelly Comb is one of the top choices for Windows users so it’s hard to really suggest an alternative without knowing where it falls short for you.

dragging. You have to double-click and hold to drag. That works for windows but not for resizing objects, or resizing things in OBS or some other software. It works for some, but not for me. Otherwise, this is a very good touchpad.

Thanks! Those are interesting.

I would prefer a touchpad over the trackball, but i may not have a choice. Depends on finding a good one of on getting the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 to work with Windows. They say it can be done so i will give it another try after we get Bluetooth added to this PC.

I found a YouTube video explaining how to get the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 to work on a Windows PC. It worked! Problem solved.
