Thank you.

Mhhh i wondering ay you. Got the original Samsung Book Cover also with keyboard. And it seems like,the pad features no gestured at all. No Zoom,by spread to fingers, and more. But why? A mouse pad 2015 should do this,specially for Android.
I use the directional buttons to scroll,but on chrome and facebook,that won't work,so i have to use fingers on the screen, what i don't want to,that's why using a keyboard and mousepad........anyone got a solution ...... (not "using a bluetooth mouse",i have,but that's not acceptable,like using a second keyboard, cause space bar won't working)

Well, I checked with Samsung Canada and asked them the same question. They said that the trackpad cannot be used to scroll up or down a page---it doesn't have that feature.

That's really ridiculous considering the price of 160€. I will get one of these for free, there was a special offer in Germany. Otherwise I had not ordered this one but a simple Bluetooth keyboard for 20€.

Edit:
Got mine today and it's well manufactured. You can easily remove the keyboard from the cover, it's connected with strong magnets.
But the trackpad is only single touch, so you can't scroll or perform any gestures with this trackpad. If it were a multitouch touchpad it were awesome but singletouch is a major disadvantage and I would return it if I didn't get it for free from Samsung.

The S mouse is more useful. ..I have it for my device and it has the toggle thing on it to scroll up and down...I'm glad I purchased it and the Logitech type s keyboard...perfect setup

That's what ended up happening to me. I was searching for a way to make the trackpad scroll but gave up and used the S Mouse instead, since I already had it from my Tab S days. I like the mouse better anyway.

I could swear that the scrolling and two finger tapping was working before the marshmallow update and I was really happy with it. But does not seem to be working anymore after the update.. :(

It's quite atrocious what Samsung have done with this touchpad. The keyboard-case accessory could have easily been perfect if the touchpad supported multitouch, or even just a way to easily scroll & zoom. Instead they settled for an official accessory that is subpar.
In case nobody realized, you can double-tap & hold, which counts as tapping & holding, & drag the mouse to scroll, albeit with hardly any accuracy.

How to scroll with touchpad

You can scroll with two fingers on touchpad on Android. I'm doing it right now on my Android 9.0 with a bluetooth keyboard.

How to? Press your right finger on the touchpad right cuadrant/zone and keep it still, then move up or down the left finger on the left cuadrant (or the reverse left-right). With "cuadrant" I mean an aproximate space on the left or right.

One finger frozen on one side and the other slide up or down on the opposite side of the touchpad.
