Pros: Good speed controls.
Cons: Uncomfortable design for those with RSI. Easy Cat may be better for RSI-plagued users.

| taptap's Full Review: Cirque Smart Cat Touchpad |
I've been using a Cirque touch pad built into my keyboard for years and it's been a great RSI reliever. But when my keyboard died I purchased the Smart Cat. I find the pad itself works great, but the design is about as thoughtless as it gets. By putting huge buttons beneath the pad, it forces my hand into an awkward, unsupported position if I want my finger to be able to reach the whole pad (I can't rest my hand on the desk and still reach it like I did w/ my old keyboard). ALSO, it's flat, with no adjustable legs. I think it would be much more comfortable to use if it were at an angle. It started irritating my wrist almost immediately to use this poorly designed product. I suspect the Easy Cat (because it does not have the big buttons) might be better and I plan to exchange for it.
