Picked one up yesterday...

The jury is still out

Dont like mine as the "click" is achieved by 2 rubber buttons on the underside of the pad when its pushed against a table etc ... thus not working on a sofa etc, with the TV.

Plus it bends really easy.

what are you going on about

I can "click" without using the pressure buttons.

Just check your trackpad settings. I have "tap to click", "Dragging" & "Drag Lock" set for 1 finger. For two fingers I have all selected.

I dont use ours.

I too tried setting up all the different options but overall found a mouse on the sofa material still a much better option.

I have tried plex but I dispise the way it just displays all video in the one list. There is a good reason for why I have organised my videos in folders.
