Touchpad Sensitivity

[Colin23erk]

Thanks for the suggestion . I have that options set up as well as no tapping ,


When I had a desktop I preferred a Track ball and I carried on using it with a laptop on a desk.


Now I use my laptop on my Lap so I made myself covert to using a Touchpad as I find it better to avoid having USB devices plugged in.


I am just evaluating a new laptop  to try to get LL installed . No luck yet getting the Grub menu to see Linux ?


The sensitivity issue of the Touchpad has become an issue because there are no physical Left or Right click buttons - the touchpad rocks to left or right instead . which can result in the cursor being accidentally moved  if your finger moves slightly when the Click buttons are used .


To try to prevent my finger touching the pad surface I put a thin strip of velcro on the edge of the pad area to give it feel as well as avoiding touching the pad. Unfortunately  this has problems because as well as being depressed the touchpad needs my finger to be in contact with its surface . Presumably to avoid getting a click if it is depressed by other than a finger I suspect this is because it converts into a Tablet with (the Touchpad being face downwards)


I am finding that my experience with computers at the moment is that my problems do not have proper Solutions  - they have their own problems  that need another solution etc .
