Answer:Most computer touch-pads, work on the principle of measurement and or change in capacitance of capacitance sensors embedded under the touch pad. Capacitance sensors are laid under the touch pad in horizontal and vertical axis (so there is a matrix of sensors). Answer:

When fingers are placed on the touch pad, capacitance on these sensors changes which is detected by the corresponding sensors and signal is processed by the electronic circuits to indicate mouse pointer position of change of position. Pressure and multiple quick changes at the same place is processed as a mouse clicks.

Answer:There is a network of capacitor and which only responds to the conducting material. Have you ever tried to use a pencil tip on the touch-pad? This pad only responds conducting things. Answer:

I think the touch-pad works by electric current that runs through your body, notice that it will not work if your are wearing a glove or if you use something like a pen or pencil, it is not heat responsive either, it only works when a person touches it.

It works like any other pc mousepad. It's just that you use the bottom of it to click. Left and right.

The mousepad is the mat that the mouse goes on top of. I think you may be referring to either a mouse or a laptop touchpad. If the mouse has a USB connector, it should be compatible with all Windows computers which also have USB ports. If you are referring to a touchpad from a laptop, no, they won't work on every other laptop other than one that is the same brand, because the parts are specific.

Why would the touchpad mouse of a laptop computer become sticky and hard to use over time and what can be done about it?

Try F-TIPP. It's a new product designed for people who are irritated by laptop touchpads. http://www.ftipp.com The touchpad mouse interface is often challenged by skin oil, dirt, and food particles. We rarely will wash our hands just to use our computer. If you have the owners manual, check to see if there is a section on cleaning the touchpad. You must be careful about cleaning this device, as it must remain sensitive to the presence of your finger in order to work. A mild soap solution in a damp sponge will probably clean the touchpad without getting water into the case of the laptop. Avoid rubbing alcohol, lighter fluid, or strong detergents, such as Dawn. Do not pour liquid onto the touchpad, and do not rub the touchpad with an abrasive pad.
