Ehr... as almost expected (but I didn't test that right away yesterday because I was at home and have been using a mouse):

Right click is not working yet.

I expected that because the Touchpad has a somehow really crooked design. There IS basically only one "button". And it's not a button. The design resembles that of the apple macbook touchpads, in that you can physically "click" it. But in contrast to the macbook's, the SF510's touchpad can only be clicked in a defined region at the bottom. In the top corners you CAN not click it by design, and the fact that you can click it right in the middle, I consider a manufacturing flaw. The clickable region is defined with a line that is imprinted on the touchpad surface and another line devides that region into a left and right part, which is, with the microsoft driver, used to distinguish between right and left click. It works, but it's crooked, because the driver software has to generate a left OR a right click event from ONE physical click signal, depending on where the finger is, during the click.

The lines on the touchpad and exact measurements of the touch sensitive area in mm look like this.
