Capacitance occurs when the tip of a finger meets the screen because the finger is electrically conductive and a human nail is not. . . or, I should say the nail is greatly resistant to the conduction of electricity and that is why it is not detected when touching the screen.

Does the mousepad compatible with all different windows os?

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.

Why when you use a pen on your laptops touchpad it doesnt input it on the screen but when you use your fingers it works im trying to use it as a graphics tablet?

Edit I have a Toshiba Satellite with windows 8.1.As I turned it on everything was OK but after a minute or so my touchpad stopped working,it doesn't move it will scroll and click but without the cursor moving.I figured that it actually works but I have to double tap the touchpad and then move but after I stop it won't work again and I have to double tap it every time to move it and it makes things very hard.I tried restarting it and turning it off and then on again and just after it goes on the touchpad works fine but again after a moment it stops.What should I do? Update: I also tried disabling and then enabling it but it doesn't work.

Why can't my teddy bear use the laptop touch-pad?

Because the touchpad is probably a kind of technology that needs the user's finger to be able to transmit electricity to work. Your bear's thick fur won't conduct electricity, so he can't make the touchpad do anything. There are other kinds of touch technology though. If your teddy got a job at Starbucks, for example, he would be able to use the touch screens on the registers there.
