great hardware, irritating gestures
Date:May 16, 2013
it does the job but I'm not happy with it.
-left click doesn't always left click. sometimes you have to do an actual click on the pad by pressing down.
-right click are in the lower right corner which i often miss so it becomes irritating to copy and paste.
-dragging a window, ie left and hold is irritating as well, you double click and move but you have to do it quick or else the windows maximizes.
-scrolling is backwards...I use a magic pad on macs at work. it's correct on it, it makes more sense. they can add a software switch so people that prefer the other way.
-left click doesn't always left click. sometimes you have to do an actual click on the pad by pressing down.

-scrolling is backwards...I use a magic pad on macs at work. it's correct on it, it makes more sense. they can add a software switch so people that prefer the other way.
hardware is great but logitech just didn't implement the gestures needed to do basic stuff correctly. please logitech REVIEW the magic pad from apple , they've got it right.

How did I use Windows 8 on my HTPC before this? Really opens up the OS, gets the bulky wireless keyboard off your lap and has a small footprint on your coffee table.

Smooth Movement
Date:April 24, 2013
It took me a week or two until I was able to understand what going from a click mouse to a Touchpad was all about. Now I find it easy to maneuver around to do anything I want to do and lots more than what I was use to doing with a mouse. Swiping back and forth, moving screens around and widening the screen are just some of the most used features I find helpful for me to use daily.

Only two problems I've found
Date:April 11, 2013
The touch pad works pretty much as advertised with one exception. The left / right motion of the pad is backwards. On my Win8 screen if I want to scroll to the right, I touch the right hand side of the screen and move left. (fairly intuitive and obvious) However the left / right on the pad is reversed. If I want to scroll the screen to the right I have to touch the left side of the pad and move right. Absolutely wrong. The top / bottom is also reversed.
Left click can be a little dicey sometimes, but if you make a fist and simply hit it, (GENTLY!) that works great.
I would recommend as along as the left / right, top / bottom thing doesn't bother you.
It would be nice if the software would allow you to swap the directions.

Less customization than old mouse
Date:March 15, 2013
Don't get me wrong, I really like the touch features of this pad. But like a previous reviewer I can't understand why the software doesn't allow a fraction of the customization that my old Logitech mouse had. In particular I need a pad command to open new IE windows. I'm currently not using the right click button for anything. I'd really like to assign the right clicker to do that.

without it, it's not useful at all on a daily basis

it should be like BetterTouckTool in OSX
until then the potential of the device is not unleashed

Great touchpad, not quite like the MacBook though
Date:March 1, 2013
I got this touchpad for my Windows 8 desktop in hopes that it would be like a touch screen feel. I was hoping it would be exactly like my MacBook Air at home. It is similar but not quite.
I like the touch a feel of this device and I like the size. However the clicking down motion is not Mac like. I realize this isn't a Mac, but they really have that downward clicking motion just right. I'm getting used to this, so it's not a BIG deal, but maybe in the next revision they will make some adjustments. Maybe the whole pad needs to downward click, instead of pushing down on the front rubber pads. Instead make the base solid and the pad itself (the entire pad) get pushed down.

Excellent so far
Date:February 14, 2013
Contrary to many reviewers I am not a Logitech fan, I purchased a very expensive G19 keyboard which I found of little value for the price (went with an excellent cm storm quickfire mechanical keyboard since then).
But I got the T650 as a present. After hours of getting used to it with Windows 8 machines and now weeks of use I find it is an excellent touchpad.
I simply cannot confirm problems with drag and drop I have no problem whatsoever.
Once Learning the Windows 8 gestures I find it a productivity increase.
My only frustration was with the right click which didn't work well until I found that you had to click a little to the right of the center, not the extreme right of the touchpad. Since then no problem.
While I still prefer mouse for some situations (e.g; gaming) I think the T650 is a pleasure to use in general Windows / office / browsing use. I have not recharged in yet since the initial charging so battery life is outstanding so far.

I gave it a try and returned it two days later
Date:January 22, 2013
I use a Mac at home with a Magic Trackpad so I thought I'd give this a try for use with my PC at work. I'm an early adopter so I have windows 8 and dual monitors, etc. I LOVE Logitech products and have purchased dozens of them over the years. This is the very first product from Logitech that I actually returned to the store. The primary reason was the click & drag issue that so many people are complaining about. It requires too much pressure and "wrist effort" to hold down the plate with your thumb while you are dragging. Not only that but there's a definite tactile point where you can feel the pad "click" down but the threshold for performing a drag & drop is far beyond what it takes to make the pad "click". It should really be the same amount of pressure as it is on the magic trackpad. I feel like Apple got it right and Logitech failed to copy the mechanics well enough to make this a usable product. If the magic trackpad worked on Windows 8 I would have just used that.

Impossible to use
Date:January 13, 2013
After 3 weeks, I went back to using a mouse and is now a very expensive paperweight. I was thrilled to get this device to enhance Windows 8, but was very disappointed in the end. While the surface is silky smooth, I found it impossible to use for ANY considerable length of time. If you have moderately warm hands or moist air from a humidifier, your fingers will not glide on the surface after a few minutes of use. The left and right swipe areas for charms are way too close to the edge of the device. Double tap and drag to close windows takes several attempts before you can get the windows closed. Increasing the tracking speed helps this, but then makes it difficult to scroll anywhere else at a normal rate. Had this not been a gift, I would have returned it right away. For the current cost, it is way way way overpriced and does not execute as intended.

Just Awsome!
Date:January 11, 2013
Super easy set up. When you open the Set Point Settings to make adjustments, on the right you you have a video showing you how to do the gestures. I use it with windows 7 and it has changed the entire experience for me in using a laptop. Great Product. Thanks, Logitech.

Excellent device!
Date:December 26, 2012
This is a really well-engineered, thoughtfully and well-designed device! I'm absolutely pleased with it on my Win7 laptop. Don't just install the drivers and go - there are a LOT of valuable features in the management app - worth running through them to learn what you can do. I don't often write up products, but this one is really outstanding. Nice job, Logitech!!!

Doesn't work as advertised
Date:December 19, 2012
This trackpad is so bad I went back to using my old mouse. Two finger scroll is nice but it scrolls on its own, all the time, with one finger. Even when barely touching the trackpad with one finger my browser windows start scrolling. So I end up chasing a button up/down the screen.
Mouse movement is choppy for very fine detailed movements while using Photoshop or clicking a very a small icon. Forget trying to adjust the volume button in Youtube videos.
There is no 3 finger drag option, which I use all day long on Mac. You must click down and hold the trackpad with your thumb and contort your other fingers to drag a window or highlight text. And most of the time it lets go before the window is moved or text is highlighted where I want it to go.
It is next to impossible to select an item from a select list on a web form. I click to open the available choices but as soon as I mouse over the select area it disapears. I have literally tried over 20 times to select an option in one select list. It does the same thing in Chrome's fly-out menu. The menu disapears before I can ever choose anything.
I've had this for a month and the top finish is already visibly worn.
The one and only good feature is its rechargeable. Everything else about this product is cheap and/or doesn't work properly.

The bad:
1. The main beef that I have with this product is that it only works well when my fingers are completely dry. My fingers often stick to the surface and make it difficult to navigate. I've never had this problem with other track pads.
2. A certain margin of the edges of this track pad is non-touchable and is for swiping in for Windows 8 gestures, but this margin is not visibly or "feel-ably" evident. I sometimes swipe in an app or open the charms bar without meaning to.
3. This track pad is too tall. I can't reach the top without lifting my hand. This wouldn't matter except for the fact that swiping from the top is an important gesture that, among other things, pulls down tabs in IE.
4. The software driver takes several seconds to load features like synchronized scrolling and tap-to-click. Every time you log in you must wait several seconds for the driver to start and to remember your personalized settings.

The good:
This is a well-built track pad and works great with Windows 8. Two-finger scrolling is my favorite part. There are also great customizable settings with the software. Click-and-drag also works fine because the track pad is a physical button.

If I were designing this product, I would make a few changes, like adding a Windows button since a 3-finger swipe for the start screen is a bit clunky. Take a look at the picture to see what I would change.

Great product
Date:December 5, 2012
I use this with Win 7, and it works fine. The only issue I had was with the installation--the T650 software did not download automatically. But, I called tech support, they walked me through downloading it, and it works great now. I ended up coming back to Logitech to buy three more for my family.

This touchpad has made Windows 8 easy. I have a laptop and I just put windows 8 and I can not live without it. My laptop's touchpad is small and has limited gestures and also has no room to move the mouse.The touchpad makes it easier to browse the os with all the gestures and also the unifying receiver helps as well.

This is a great product. I have some disadvantages. You need to integrate it more with Windows. I have problems on the login and lock screen on Windows 8. The clicking doesn't work. Needs to be updated.

Great with Windows 8
Date:November 24, 2012
Utilizes Windows 8 multi-touch gestures. Works like you're touching the screen. The surface is glass, not plastic. Many more complex gestures than a traditional mouse pad.
Sits on our coffee table. Resembles a large drink coaster. We use it to control our home theater. Controls everything quickly, except, it's not a keyboard.
I can get to, and turn on, the on screen keyboard, but there's no one motion, up-stoke to make the keyboard appear. That's about the only shortcoming. And I imagine it's Apple's fault we cannot do that.
Should you buy this, I would say yes. BUT, you will still need a keyboard for typing!

Really cool
Date:November 18, 2012
I bought Windows 8 for my desktop. I also bought this touchpad. Wel, I ended up hating Windows 8, but loving this touchpad. I recently reinstalled Windows 7, because I thinkin - whats the point of Windows 8 and why is it better than 7. I couldnt find and answer. However, what I was left with from that experience was a feeling of excitement and dread for Windows 9, and this beautifully smooth working accessory.
I also want to let you know that I bought that original touchpad Logitech came out with. I quickly returned it without a second thought. I can't really express How satisfied I am with this device. There are a few gestures thatI would add (Apple really had it down with OSX Lion).
