Ana,


Most newer trackpads will work with Narrator. The reliability will 
depend on the hardware and the drivers used by the hardware 
manufacturer. I realize this is not the best answer. But, if your 
trackpad isn't working as well as you'd expect, it may be the hardware 
that's at fault and not Narrator. See if you can get reliable results 
from NVDA. I've found that laptops and devices under $500  have 
reliability issues most times.


Regards,,


Pratik
