I am not a big fan of track pads and when I work with my notebook I typically use a mouse rather than having to mess with a slow track pad. I did really like the track pad on the last Asus Eee netbook I tested thanks to its gesture control, but I still didn’t want to replace my mouse with a track pad.

If you feel differently and wish that you could use a track pad for your desktop as well as your notebook that supports gestures, the SmartTrack Neo is just what you have been looking for. The device is a track pad that connects to any PC via USB.

It supports gestures for scrolling, rotating, zooming in and out, as well as scrolling through songs in your digital music collection. Anyone who has used the iPhone knows exactly how the gestures work. The track pad surface is 77.2mm x 45mm and has a pair of buttons underneath. Pricing and availability are unknown at this time.
