Touchpad

[KAG1999]

My touchpad left and right enter space is so tiny, is there a way to extend it so the area to enter is larger?

Hi @KAG1999 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If the touchpad’s left and right click areas seem too small, you can adjust settings to make the touchpad experience more comfortable. Here are a few methods to consider:

1. Touchpad Settings (Windows)

• Open Settings: Go to Start > Settings (the gear icon).
• Devices: Click on Devices and then select Touchpad from the left menu.
• Adjust Sensitivity: Look for settings related to sensitivity or click areas. Some touchpads allow you to adjust the size of the click zones.
• Enable Taps: If you prefer tapping instead of clicking, enable tapping to use the touchpad as a button, which can simplify the process.

2. Control Panel (Windows)

• Open Control Panel: Search for Control Panel in the Start menu.
• Mouse: Click on Mouse, then look for a tab related to the touchpad (it might be labeled as Device Settings or similar).
• Adjust Settings: Here, you might find options to customize the touchpad’s sensitivity or button configuration.

3. Touchpad Driver Software

If you have specific touchpad software installed (like Synaptics or Elan):

• Open the software from the system tray or Control Panel.
• Look for settings related to button size or click areas and adjust as needed.

4. Update Drivers

• Ensure that your touchpad drivers are up to date. You can check the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
