Laptop Touhpad

[KGB-911]

Hi, Does anyone know how a laptop touchpad works?

Bcause it will only work if yu pu your finger on it, it wont if you put anything else on (a pen lid etc...)

Is it body heat,
Its just something i was wanderng about

I've wondered about that too. I spent about 10 minutes the other day trying to get my iPod touchwheel to work with various household objects
