Is there such a thing as a usb trackpad for Chromebooks?

Something like wacom tablets but compatible with a non touch screen Chromebook. We have a wacom tablet here that just does nothing when plugged in. (Wacom One)

You can get wireless keyboards with trackpads - we tend to buy the Logitech K400, about £30, has a simple (and very small) USB dongle that plugs in to any computer and acts as a standard keyboard and mouse. You're maybe thinking of a a bigger trackpad, though, I guess.

Yeah, some teachers are asking about annotations on screen, I don't even think a touchscreen chromebook would even help. I wonder if a "pen" would work on the standard touchpad

I see there's some by a company called jelly comb but they are expensive

Apparently the Wacom Intuos works to some degree, but it won't support pressure sensitivity. Don't quote me on that though!

I know the Wacom One doesn't... You would think they would just come up as a mouse but no

 

You would think there was a market for this but I guess they just rely on touchscreen chromebooks

wacom say their older devices have limited functionality and they're working with google, so nothing yet

Wacom have now finally got chromebook certification for the wacom one - going to test ours
