Touchpad - Acer TravelMate 4220 Service Manual

Touchpad

The build-in touchpad is a pointing device that senses movement on its surface.
This means the cursor responds as you move your finger across the surface of the touchpad.
The touchpad is located in the middle of the palm rest area, providing maximum comfort and efficiency.

touchpad's responsiveness.
