The glass touchpad on my new MBP is a bit uneven. The surface itself is flat, but the left side sits a bit lower than the right side, as if the whole touchpad is tilted to the left. The right side is flush with the surrounding aluminum, but the left side is maybe .5mm lower. Is this normal?
View 9 RepliesI have found that the base of my M1330 is uneven at times, sometimes it is even and all the rubber feet touch the table and sometimes the bottom left corner is 2 to 3 mm higher. This is tested on the same surface all the time and I have tried other even surfaces as well and see that the base is definitely uneven at some times. It is weird that this happens at random times, I think it might be the changing whether and the case shrinking or something during cold temps and expanding at hotter temps. I also think it might be some tight screws or loose ones that don't keep the M1330s base in the correct shape. Any one else have this problem? I have tried bending the case and it will fix it for a short period of time but the problem will come back.

I am considering making an interfacing board to connect it to a USB/PS2 port for my homemade laptop.
This is not an "us vs. them" thread, so please, let's not do that. I'm simply curious as to whether there are any other laptops -- save for HP's Envy line, of course -- which have a large trackpad like the MBPs.
Was just thinking of how it's an arguably good idea which just isn't used as often as you'd think. IMO, of course.
On the plastic MBs, the touchpad and/or palmrest get shiny after heavy use.
Do the alum laptops have the same issue ?
Are there any alternatives that doesn't have super-sensitive tap on an MBP? Can I adjust it somehow?

in my house downstairs when my laptop is plugged in and placed on the floor or surface the touchpad becomes un useable really slow but as soon as i disconnect the psu the touchpad works.
in another room all works ok and when the laptop is plugged in upstairs all is ok.!!! even on the carpet
One solution mentioned on NBR was the improved insulation - but there may be another one.
Or maybe the "mad mouse" is static and the inverted mouse is something else.
My laptop was gettig very bad with the inverted mouse - and it didn't seem to be static related.
I just did some googling - [url] this seemed promising (the detailed driver analysis for XP) - unistalling of the touchpad driver to be specfic
I ujst did it and my mouse is no longer inverted - of course I loose some functionaltiy too (scrolling etc.)
But tapping works, and clicking too and moving the mouse.
I hope I'll remember to drop back in at a later date to tell you how it works out - it the mouse no longer inverts without the Alps driver.
My SZ is a SZ71VN/X
No, the inverted mouse is back
its possible that Vaio Alps touchpad drivers are outdated.
The left button of my touchpad does not work anymore! If someone has encountered a problem like this and has come up with a solution it has stopped working permanently!
Forgot to mention that the laptop I have is a VAIO SR and that I have tried a few things already to see if it would solve the problem, but no luck. Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, switched from right-handed to left-handed, uninstall and let windows choose the driver, etc...
is there a way that i can change the option so that i have to double click desktop items? right now i only have to click once to open a folder..

The touchpad is now up there with the Synaptics from my old XPS m140.

I tried it on my E6400, and it updated to the newer drivers without issue. I am definitely noticing a diffference in the touchpad.
New Touchpad Driver From Dell - For Studio 1536
I'm planning to do a mod on my latitude E6400, so if anyone with an M1330 would answer these questions, that would be great. I can't seem to find concrete info anywhere.
Are the touchpad in the 1330s all Synaptics, or a mix of Synaptics and Alps?

I have recently purchased a dell inspiron 15. I have a small question. I can not figure out what I am hitting to cause this toi occur but seems to be touchpad related.

We just got my gf's laptop from dell this week. I start it up and notice that something is wrong.

For when I want to play a game and need to use a USB mouse is there a way to disable the touchpad like I can with my current ASUS G2S laptop?
Nothing is more annoying when trying to play a game and having inadvertant mouse clicks and movement because I can't or forgot to disable the touchpad while using a mouse.
I have got dell studio 1535. After a couple of days I noticed that my mouse cursor is moving very erratic. E.G. If you touch touchpad and move cursor in circle it's like jaming / stopping every 5 seconds for 0.5 sec.
I have done diagnostic, I reinstalled vista,Ubuntu, XP still this same.
i recently got a new studio 1555, i wanted to disable my touchpad while using an external mouse so i use the feature in the touchpad properties that disables the touchpad
once an external pointing device is connected. The problem is, once i disconnect the mouse the touchpad does'nt turn on again, is that normal behavior? should'nt the touchpad come back to life once i disconnect my mouse.
after ive had my notebook closed overnight, the mouswhats going on here?

View 5 Replies View RelatedMy Acer 5520 came with the touchpad set so sensitive that by just by passing over icons I am opening windows that I dont want to. My sisters older Acer also has an "Alps" touchpad with Alps driver and under the tapping tab in the mouse window she has a "touch sensitivity" button that adjusts from light----to-----heavy touch and thats all I need.
After checking various computer stores that carry Acer and other brands it seems that some have this feature and some dont. Annoyingly also is the fact that no-one in the sales dept in these stores knows what I'm talking about and when I show them they say it's the first time they've encountered it. Surely if I'm spending over $1000. for a new notebook I should be able to control this. I have tried updating the driver from the Acer websight. Both the Synaptics and Alps drivers they offer don't have this control either. Some Acers however have it and they are not necessarily the upscale or newest models. So what gives?
I started my computer up yesterday and the touchpad was not working. It has nothing to do with the FN key either. Does this wear out after awhile? I've had my acer2025 since the summer of 2004. Any troubleshooting to check if it is just broken?

How do I find out for sure?
I've noticed a couple of annoying traits about my touchpad, which is probably related to the driver but was wondering if anyone else has noticed either of these:
Firstly, my touchpad sensitivity region does not extend all the way to the edges, especially towards the mouse buttons and the top of the pad. This can be seen by moving the cursor upwards (or down) and it'll stop before your finger actually reaches the border of the touchpad. I've disabled edge scrolling and other enhancements like edge regions. What's interesting is that once your finger is in the "dead zone" and the cursor no longer moves up, you can still move side-side. Horizontally, the problem isn't so bad. It's a bit like the touchpad is unaware where the physical edges are. Does anyone else have this?
Secondly, if you're using your middle finger for moving the mouse and your index finger comes near the surface, the mouse cursor freezes. I assume this is because it's detecting a multitouch (if you open the pressure graph, you don't have to touch the pad, it will detect the finger just above the surface). Adjusting the sensitivity only changes how hard you need to press for the cursor to move, but it'll still detect the presence of another finger above the pad and stop the cursor. Is it possible to disable multitouch? In an older laptop, the touchpad would work with two or more fingers by just averaging their motion which was kind of pointless but also would not have this problem.
Is there anything I can do to restore this "useless" behaviour? (or perhaps just respond to the strongest pressure point?)
I just got a top-of-the-line maxed out Sony Z to replace my Z591U and the touchpad is driving me NUTS! About 5mm from each edge the touchpad has a dead zone in the direction perpendicular to that edge. E.g., if I am moving my finger vertically towards the top edge of the touchpad (with the cursor moving vertically up the screen), about 5mm before I reach the top edge of the touchpad, the cursor stops moving. The same thing happens with moving the finger towards the bottom of the touvhpad or towards the right edge of the touchpad. It is driving me nuts and is promting me to return the computer if I am unable to fix it. If anyone has experienced this and had been able to fix it, please let me know. I tried everything with modifying or completely removing the scroll zones without any results.
