>>24074So I finally bought this thing and a 30ft HDMI cord. Works great, signal stays strong even from 20ft behind walls.
https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Keyboard-Control-Touchpad/dp/B014EUQOGKIt works out of the box on Linux, doesn't work out of the box on Windows without Logitech's software.
What I found interesting is the trackpad is actually a mouse (pointer), a computer will think it is a mouse, not a trackpad. The trackpad features, such as tap to click, and scroll, are actually done through hardware, and it sends it to the computer as if it were a normal mouse. Most people who use this device would never know this.
You could only extensively configure the trackpad with Logitech's software.
On Linux this means you can't configure it like you would a normal trackpad (real trackpads almost always work much better on Linux), you can only configure it like a mouse, the options to configure tap-to-click aren't there. Luckily by default, the hardware handles 1 finger tap to left click, 2 finger tap to right click, and 2 finger scrolling very well.
It however does not support 3 finger tap-to-click, and the double-click by double tapping is quite bad.
I just needed to change the accel speed, and enable middle click emulation for the two buttons (clicking both sends a middle click). Then I was satisfied.
xinput set-prop "pointer:Logitech K400 Plus" "libinput Accel Profile Enabled" 1, 0
xinput set-prop "pointer:Logitech K400 Plus" "libinput Middle Emulation Enabled" 1
Other than that, most of the function keys surprisingly work. For example:
- F1 goes back in web browsers or file managers
- F3 does alt-tab
- F6 minimizes all Windows
- The volume keys work
The yellow button in the top left is a left-click. I really like that, it allows you to use the trackpad with your right hand, and left-click with your left hand.
I'd recommend this product.
