I posted on the Lenovo forums and someone suggested I install the open source two finger scroll. I drove to my local MicroCenter, which does not stock W530, but played with the touchpad on a Thinpad Twist and found it only marginally better. This touchpad has a plastic overlay with tiny bumpy nibs. I've played with many other brands of consumer grade computers with touchpads far far far better then this. At the price I paid for the unit, it should have a top of the line trackpad. I tried the generic Synaptics driver but it does not function.įrom looking at some other posts, I really wonder if the pad could be ok, but lenovo is actually selling this thing with a touchpad that performs that poorly. He then suggested that if I keep the laptop, the touchpad needs replacing. I called two support agents and the first one reminded me I have 30 days to return the unit for a refund, and the second guy had me update the driver with the lenovo update utility which showed the same version as the one I downloaded and installed. Eventually I might get used to it, but I am preferring to still have a decent touchpad on the machine. I know some of you guys will tell me to try to use UltraNav. I tried disabling the ultranav and playing with almost all the remaining settings. I have to push like I'm trying to crack the case to get the cursor to move up and down, and often I will touch the right side of the touchpad and nothing happens or it takes a few tries of swiping to get the window to move up or down. I've got the touch sensitivity to light, but have also tried heavy. I have all the smart check items disabled and the palmcheck lowered to 3. I also suspect this holds for one finger horizontal scrolling along the bottom edge of the touchpad The main reason for my post is that vertical scrolling with one finger on the right side of the touchpad barely works in IE 10. I just had my new W530 delivered yesterday, unfortunately with Windows 8 Professional.
