Laptop TouchPad

[GPRS Internet]

Ok, how many people on here actually comfortable with useing touch pads, I cant seem to get use to them .... I used a laptop for 8mths and the thing was still anoying as hell .... cant beat the mouse ..

Are there any tips in enhancing your touch pad experience ???

sure, buy an ibm and use the eraserhead. i hate the touchpad myself.
does any other company use eraserheads??

No tips other than changing the sensitivity level to ur liking. Its real hard to use still - Mouse is king, nothing can replace it.

Truss mi ... there must be a way ... a mean the touchscreen concept works so well in almost every other situation, but it just not cuttin it for a laptop mouse :(

well if u don't like the touchpad nor the eraserhead, u stuck with a mouse. how about that ball one, do they still make those on laptops?? i think that ball was the worst thing ever to be found on a laptop.

And you know come to think of it i had and old Toshiba that had the ball mouse, and it work quite well ... it just looked tacky ... A dont think they make them anymore .

Prolly i need to ask ma boss, cause i see him using a laptop for about 3yrs now and he only uses the touchpad no mouse :eusa_thin

I don't really have a problem using the touchpad, as long as it's not for an extended period of time. You must realise that they more than likely included the touchpad as a mobile, compact and convenient mouse pointer controller, and not as a replacement to the mouse.

i thought i was the only one with a gripe against touchpads, i tried playing spider solitaire with a freaking touchpad, i don't own a laptop but whenever working on one i always attach a mouse and a monitor, sometimes a keyboard(another gripe - the keyboard layout)

I like the touchpads on laptops, much better than the litte nob on the keyboard. Used the touchpad on a Dell, Compaq and IBM and all of them are ok. Comfortable with the keyboard as well.

i don't have a problem with touchpads, works quite well for me, maybe yours is either too sensitave or not sensitive enough, play with the settings a bit, the eraserhead is eseier to use but mine always keeps popping off, but neither can compare to a mouse still

Well i spoke with my boss ,... only tip he gave me was to use both hands, one on the touchpad and one on the bottons ... which kinda makes sence becasue i use one hand to operate both, so im constantly back and forth.
