welcome to my unboxing of the Logitech t650 wireless rechargeable touchpad in
0:07
space so what's going to happen to the box as we remove it from the touch pad
0:12
itself is it's just going to fall away and get pulled down by the Earth's
0:16
gravitational field so you'll never see it again which means we better carefully
0:20
go through everything it says on the box before that happens click wherever your
0:25
fingers rest on the touch surface yep that's what a touchpad does glide
0:28
through Windows 8 with a wide range of gestures 13 gestures including vertical
0:33
and horizontal SL scrolling click Windows 8 start screen with three
0:37
fingers up Windows 8 Edge gesture so you can pull in from the edges and you can
0:41
pinch to zoom in and out it has a large glass touch service which delivers
0:45
premium smoothness and precision I do
0:48
like glass touch pads actually I encountered one not that long ago on a I
0:54
believe it was an HP Elite book feels so
0:57
much better than a plastic touchpad surface just because of the uh the
1:01
smoothness of the sliding is much like much like a smartphone except touchone
1:06
touch pads because they don't have to have a display behind them often have a
1:10
textured surface to them so it's even better than sort of scrolling and and
1:14
gesturing on a touch oh right right right
1:18
sorry yeah it went away it fell don't worry about it okay so the first thing
1:22
we find inside the box is the touchpad itself that is a big old touchpad it's
1:26
about the size of a CD slim jewel case
1:29
actually very very very cool so let's hold on see what else we have inside
1:32
here we're going to find apparently according to this picture one of logitech's unifying receivers there it
1:38
is as well as an extension cord for that piece so this guy right here can connect
1:43
up to six Logitech devices with just this one little dongle so you could have
1:46
a Logitech wireless keyboard wireless mouse Wireless touchpad Wireless um you
1:52
know augmented reality goggles I don't think they have that yet but who knows maybe it's coming there's your setup
1:56
guide which is probably about as simple as plug the thing into thing and then
2:01
don't worry about the other thing this is a charging cable so that's um wire
2:05
rather wireless wireless a to wireless mini B no um usba a to USB micro b so
2:11
there you go little micro connector oh
2:14
yeah that joke's not old yet right and
2:17
the touchpad itself it has quite a solid feel to it you can see here it's wrapped
2:22
in plastic it has little instructions built into it Logitech doesn't trust you
2:27
to read that quick start guide they include the instructions right here just
2:30
in case and they were right to do that they also recommend right there download
2:34
the latest drivers off the website I actually did not see a driver disc
2:39
although it probably doesn't even really need drivers because it probably just
2:42
works anyway because if you're using it with Windows 8 all these gestures are
2:47
natively supported so the surface like I said before made of glass not as
2:51
textured as I had actually expected there's only a slight ever so slight
2:56
actually I'd say it's pretty much smooth it's not quite as smooth as something
2:59
like a a smartphone but it's pretty much a smooth window uh the back here has the
3:05
uh micro USB charging port here's your
3:08
power on and off switch here is a blank
3:12
thing and here is another more different blank thing you can see there's a slight angle to it so you're not it's not going
3:17
to be quite flat on the table it'll be tilted up just a little bit there's an
3:21
activity LED here that popped up there for a second but then apparently went
3:26
away so we're going to see if we can get that to there we go so that's the I
3:30
guess that's a power indicator so we've turned it on now and other than that
3:34
there's not much to say so let's hook this bad boy
3:40
up so Slick's Windows 8 notebook now has
3:43
a unifying receiver in it he's in the bathroom right now so we uh we got the
3:48
uh touchpad installed and hold on let me see if this is important it's the Crazy
3:53
Russian apparently so uh let's just find out what he wants hey Russian
4:00
what no no it's okay I'm filming I gotta
4:06
go okay bye okay don't worry about it
4:09
okay so check this out check this out so we're going to troll slick because uh
4:14
now that this is installed see he won't probably won't even notice this when he
4:17
comes back uh we can swipe in and get the charms menu we can go three up for
4:23
start we can zoom oops there we go pinch
4:26
to zoom we can scroll back and forth
4:29
Just uh two fingers like that so there's lots of cool gestures that we can do you
4:33
can also just use it as a trackpad and oh he's coming back so hold on I'm just
4:36
going to down right
4:43
here got my lapel mic on so you guys won't uh he won't hear what I'm saying
4:47
but I'm just looking casual over here
4:52
so oh where that charms menu come
4:55
from oh there's there's another one
5:03
there's there's a start menu hold I'm just I should have started out more
5:06

5:12
