Even worse, If I do try to select, point, or tap for context menu for example, instead it zooms or enlarges whatever I am doing. Sensitivity settings have no effect whatever on this behavior. I can't do anything without it opening, closing, moving, and or highlighting anything I pass over, I wouldn't go so far as to call this hovering, without clicking or tapping in any way. After months of tinkering with every setting available for the Synaptics touchpad, researching and trying various solutions from internet tech sites, I have come to the conclusion that this device is never going to be useable. I have a touchpad on an otherwise smoothly working HP Pavilion, Windows 10. Repeat for Bottom Right, Top Left, Top Right, See right side panel list and select BUTTON/ZONE/GESTURE COMPLETELY DISABLED See left side panel (under TAP ZONES) select BOTTOM LEFT ACTION See right side panel select ENABLE TAPPING -> See left hand panel TAPPING (click the + to expand) -> It opens PROPERTIES FOR SYNAPTICS TOUCHPAD V7.0 ON PS/S PORT This is what finally works most of the time - at least it's much betterĬONTROL PANEL->MOUSE->DEVICE SETTINGS->SETTINGS-> After months of searching and experimenting. Im interested to know whether any other users have had this problem? Lenovo tec support has failed miserably, on dozens of ocasions - including disabling the touch pad and adjusting the touch pad and replacing the keyboard and the 'top case' which i was led to believe was replacing the touch pad.Īfter five months of regular trouble shooting I was told to use an external mouse. The touchpad acted very erratically, the cursor jumping from text being written in email or Microsoft Word to other areas of text or to the headings in an email.Īn inquiry to Synaptics revealed that Synaptics has no technical support and that one must rely on the manufacturer of the computer.

For filve months after purchase Lenovo Idea Pad, with Synaptics Touchpad, did not work properly.
