Gesture control is only possible under Windows 8, which is why you have to give it under W7. The accuracy of the sensor surface is satisfactory. Every now and then it does not respond after the first pats and seems possibly only then to awaken from a kind of energy-saving mode. Also happen to anyone in the middle of an action small dropouts. This is especially a hindrance in the photo / graphics editing.
The pen does not function in the normal desktop operation. The (or rather my) Pad is not responding to stylus input.
The great advantage of this pad I see, however, that you can take a relaxed posture at your desk or on the couch. The pad you may like to take in both hands move so through programs. This saves you the ever-outstretched arm, which is otherwise charged with the ordinary mouse operation.
Desirable would be a more convenient operation under Windows 7, as well as how to connect and charge the pads via USB.
