"Gaming mode" (Get Touchpad & Keyboard to Work at the Same Time)

[Holly_J]

There is no "gaming mode" in the Spectre x360; however, to improve your experience while playing games that require simultaneous touchpad and keyboard use, try the following:

1. In “Mouse and touchpad” setting, select “No delay(always on)” for Touchpad.

              

1. In Synaptics “SmartSense” setting, adjust “Pointing disabled time after keystroke” to the very left.

              

NOTE: You will likely want to adjust these settings in reverse, when using the notebook for other than gaming - such as when typing documents or using spreadsheets. By spending some time customizing your touchpad settings for your needs (and adjusting them when using your notebook in different ways), you'll have a better experience overall.

This never worked for me, and I ended up having to edit some registry keys to get it to function properly. After updating to Windows 10 this morning, I am having this same issue again, but now I can't find the same registry keys I edited before, so I need to find another workaround for this ability. Any help or insight would be appreciated!
