Does anyone use a trackpad?

Its a mousepad where your fingers do the walking, they seem to have extras like 'gestures' which may be pretty handy for DAW use? Anyone know much about this?

Everyone with a laptop, tablet or touchscreen?

Or do you mean specific models for use with eg a desktop system?

Oh yeah, i mean a peripheral for a desktop pc. I was already considering a trackball because of limited mouse space, but I though if these gestures like on phones etc might have good DAW uses?

It depends. There's more integration of the gestures with -everything- on phones and tablets. I think on Windows, you need to code the application specifically to use gestures in a more integrated way, and thus support will vary, though there's more built-in (because Windows touchscreens) than there used to be.

I think Sonar support for touchscreens was quite good, and maybe Studio One?

I only use the trackpad on Macbooks. That one is very nice.

On PC laptops I use a trackball or a mouse. I didn't do DAW work with a trackball.

I bought a couple of Perixx Peripad-504 but have not installed yet.

But this was all because I became impressed with touchpad on laptop.

i think it might work really nicely for navigation in the project window like panning left/right, but also zoom in/out. Might eb worth it just for that?
