The gestures are pretty smooth, especially vertical scrolling. At first, the glass has a bit too much friction, but it gets easier to use over time. The surface is glossy, which I personally didn’t have an issue with, but Razer includes a matte finish screen protector in the box for the people that don’t like their trackpads quite as smooth.

The Synaptics multitouch drivers have support for the main multitouch gestures-two finger scroll, pinch to zoom, and rotation-along with three finger horizontal swipes for front/back (or switching between pages of the dynamic keys, depending on what Switchblade mode you’re in).Īs a touchpad in day to day use, it works quite well-think using a smartphone as a touchpad, and you’ve got the right idea. Granted, it still won’t get anywhere near the experience with a real mouse, but it’s livable, unlike the touchpad norm, which is a lot closer to laughable. The positioning makes gaming on a touchpad much easier-it’s significantly more intuitive attempting to game on a standard touchpad below the keyboard. The relocation to the right of the keyboard requires some mental recalibration, but after the second day, it feels completely natural. It’s a 4.05” capacitive multitouch unit with a resolution of 800x480. I can’t imagine what one would do with 100 different shortcuts, but I suppose someone out there has a need for it. The keys are 15mm x 15mm squares with 115x115 resolution, and you can get up to 10 pages of custom shortcuts. Think about a miniature Art Lebedev Optimus built into your laptop the word awesome doesn’t quite do justice to how awesome it actually is. Razer calls them Dynamic Adaptive Tactile keys, a fancy way of saying that the keys have individually customizable LCDs that users can change as they see fit.

Switchblade starts with 10 LCD tiles arranged in a five by two grid above the LCD touchpad. This is Razer’s crown jewel, the Blade’s pièce de résistance, and probably the coolest feature we've seen on a notebook computer in a very long while. And so, we arrive at the Switchblade panel, which resides to the right of the keyboard.
