Small correction here: it turns out those extra keys—like the web button, volume up, and volume down—actually work right out of the box without needing any drivers from a disc.

Regarding the touchpad, it measures 42x32mm, which is about a centimeter smaller than the one on my HPu laptop at home (just for a bit of comparison). Honestly, though, I don't see the smaller surface area as much of a drawback. I have to say, I’m pretty happy with the value I'm getting for the price.

One quick heads-up: I’ve come across a few comments claiming the touchpad acts a bit glitchy if your fingers get sweaty. I haven't had a chance to test that myself yet, but maybe once the weather warms up a bit more, I'll find out.

For those few people who might be hunting for something similar (like I was): I picked up a Chicony 0609. Regarding the touchpad, you can handle scrolling by using a two-finger gesture. The surface area itself is pretty cramped—definitely smaller than what you’d find on a standard MacBook or a high-end Dell—but otherwise, it works fine. Installation went smoothly without needing any drivers from a disc, though naturally, that means the extra shortcut keys like the dedicated web button don't work.

Bottom line: for the price, it's a solid deal.

Best,

I’m on the hunt for a wireless keyboard that comes with a built-in touchpad (though I wouldn't rule out a trackball version either). So far, the only one that hasn't broken my bank under $100 is this Chicony WRC-0609, but I'm a bit skeptical about whether that specific model actually supports touchpad scrolling.

Does anyone have any solid recommendations?
Thanks.
