"works for me"

coetzee76 June 26, 2011 / Version: TouchpadPal 1.1

2011-06-26 05:25:31 | By coetzee76

Pros

Does what is says. My incidental wipes of my touch pad on my Windows 7 machine don't make my cursor jump to some random crazy place (often taking chunks of text with it).

Cons

none so far

"great in theory, not so well in practice"

sprezzaturon October 21, 2010 / Version: TouchpadPal 1.1

2010-10-21 16:02:28 | By sprezzaturon

Pros

At least, I didn't waste my money on this.

Cons

My Acer Aspire 7736Z-4088 suffers from an overly sensitive touch pad. Unfortunately, Touchpadpal v1.1 stopped very few accidently clicks and would sometimes even register a 'blocked click" when I hadn't typed for several minutes.

Summary

Touchpadpal (TPP) is a great idea but still needs a lot of work to be functional. See my comments in 'Con'. It might be helpful if TPP allowed the user to see a debug stream as to why the Touchpad Pal program worked or didn't. Configurable settings may be helpful in future versions as well.

"Not helpful"

polite430 October 10, 2010 / Version: TouchpadPal 1.1

2010-10-10 00:04:25 | By polite430

Pros

Did not install a virus

Cons

It was not helpful. Accidental touches of touchpad usually interrupted typing even with TouchpadPal (supposedly) working. Waste of time.

"Does what it says it will do"

sonofjune July 30, 2010 / Version: TouchpadPal 1.1

2010-07-30 05:59:55 | By sonofjune

Pros

This program has eliminated this problem. Takes a very small amount of space and doesn't slow the computer down at all.

Cons

None so far

Summary

Prior to installing this program my netbook caused me great frustration when typing emails. I would write several paragraphs and then accidentally hit the touchpad and the whole thing would get erased.
