TouchPad surface to act as different buttons. These special corner regions are called tap zones . With four corner tap zones, the center of the TouchPad, and the two physical buttons you can turn your TouchPad into a seven-button mouse! A customization example: Suppose you want to use your TouchPad like a three-button mouse.
Unintentional pointer movement and accidental taps can be caused by accidentally brushing the surface of the TouchPad with your palm or another part of your hand. The results of this contact can be observed as a changing cursor location when typing, causing subsequent text to appear in the wrong place. Or text may “spontaneously”...
The TouchPad sensor is just a circuit board with a matrix of conductive traces printed on the top surface. A special chip on the back side of the TouchPad continuously measures the capacitance of these traces, and thus can determine the presence and location of your finger.
TouchPad Map for a more detailed description. You can adjust the size of each zone by dragging one of the black resize handles on the TouchPad map. If you are having trouble activating the Virtual Scrolling feature, you might want to try making the scroll zones wider.
Sometimes you might need more accuracy when pointing with the TouchPad, such as in a drawing program. The speed of the pointer can make this type of accuracy difficult to obtain. To slow down the pointer move- ment, you can specify a slow motion key. Then, for slow pointer movement, press and hold this key as you move the pointer.

The Palm Check slider controls the TouchPad’s detection of accidental and unwanted pointing movement. In addition to detecting palm contact with the TouchPad, the TouchPad can ignore much of the accidental and unwanted pointer movement that may occur while typing (due to accidentally contacting your Touch-...
Customizing Edge Zone Sizes This page includes a small map of the TouchPad with the edge zones shaded in red. See the Edge Zone TouchPad Map for a more detailed description. You can adjust the size of each zone by dragging one of the black resize handles on the TouchPad map.
Q: Why doesn’t the Virtual Scrolling feature work in some windows, even though they have a scroll bar? A: In order to scroll, Virtual Scrolling must be able to “see” the window’s scroll bar. If the scroll bar is partially obscured by another window, or partially off the screen, then Virtual Scrolling will not activate in that window.

Q: When I press and hold the shift key or the control key (CTRL), the pointer movement is either very slow or restricted to move only horizontally or only vertically. What is happening? A: The shift keys and the control keys are special and are used for various things, such as selecting multiple files in Microsoft Windows Explorer or for zooming in and out on a spread sheet in Mi- crosoft Excel.
