Workshop: Make your notebook PC easier to use

Change the way you use your notebook computer by customising Touchpad input

Paul Wardley, Computeract!ve 17 Mar 2008

Every notebook computer is fitted with a pointing device that takes the place of a mouse. With very few exceptions these days, this will be a touch-sensitive pad.

Synaptics, the company that makes many of these parts, calls it a Touchpad. It has emerged as the most effective pointing device only after years of rivalry from other devices such as joysticks and trackballs. If your notebook computer has a Touchpad but you still feel more at home with a mouse, this Workshop is for you.

The instructions here are for notebooks using a Synaptics Touchpad, but other models may often include similar options.

Find out how to customise the Touchpad here.
