Your trackpad supports gestures with or without Logitech Preference Manager (LPM) software. The table below shows which gestures are supported directly by the operating system, and which require Logitech Preference Manager. Logitech Preference Manager includes videos demonstrating the supported gestures.
NOTE: If you don't have Logitech Preference Manager installed, you can download it. See answer 360023252614 for instructions.
