Logitech Wireless Touchpad for Windows

Logitech’s fugly trackpad is the perfect match for your Windows PC
The target market for Logitech’s Windows-only Wireless Touchpad is a strange one. It consists of people who are sufficiently Apple-aware to want a wireless multitouch trackpad, who have $50 lying around to buy one, and yet — inexplicably — haven’t actually bought a Mac.
Despite this odd start, Logitech seems to have got everything else right: The styling is sufficiently ugly and cheap-looking to match any PC, the battery life is a very respectable four months (on 2 AA cells) and it can be used with one, two, three or four fingers simultaneously. It also has a couple of buttons at the bottom, like a traditional laptop trackpad (in contrast to Apple’s whole-pad clicks) and it uses Logitech’s excellent 2.4GHz receiver.
These receivers are great. They’re tiny, and they make all your Logitech input devices appear as USB mice/pads/keyboards to the computer. They’re also way more reliable (and responsive) than Bluetooth peripherals.
If you can stomach putting this ugly chunk of plastic on your desk, you can have one right now, for the aforementioned $50.
