The touchpad module attaches to the right keyboard half and shouldn’t be a stranger to anyone these days. This module takes it to another level by placing the touchpad where it’s easier to reach - right in the middle of the keyboard.

The touchpad module is multitouch-capable and supports two-finger scrolling, two-finger tapping, pinch-to-zoom, and double-tap-to-drag gestures. You can emulate left-click by tapping, right-click by two-finger tapping, or remap these events to any actions. Pointer movement versus scrolling can be configured on a per-layer basis. The surface area of the touchpad is 27.5 x 39 mm (1.08 x 1.54 inch). Following is a demonstration video of the touchpad and key cluster modules.
