Clicking on touchpad too sensitive, how to change..

I recently bought a Dell XPS 15 9530. I want to change the touchpad sensibility to clicking, as it is too sensitive, but I can't find this option in control panel --> mouse --> "dell touchpad". 
I'm NOT looking for a way to change the sensitivity to moving the cursor, that one I can find, but clicking to select etc on the touchpad. What happens all the time is when I want to just move the cursor the touchpad believes I'm clicking and I accidentally select files/moves them etcetc..
Sorry for not being able to explain this better, english is not my first language.

Hi,
If the machine is on windows 8,
under the Windows 8 settings app (-> PC and devices -> Mouse and touchpad). This is apparently configurable only in the settings app, and not anywhere under the Control Panel.
Regards

  • Touchpad too Sensitive -- Lenovo Wireless Touchpad 5923

    How do I turn down the sensitivity of my K5923?  Can I do this without changing my laptop's touchpad sensitivity?
    I'm running on Windows 7 using a Dell XPS 15z.
    The mouse just moves around too quickly for me to be accurate.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi Calle2014,     
    Welcome to the Lenovo Community.                                 
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with touchpad very sensitive in your Lenovo G580 laptop.
    As you have mentioned that the touchpad is very sensitive please go to control panel select mouse.
    Select pointer option tab, under pointer option tab tick on enhance pointer precision and also set pointer speed to minimum or to the neutral and click on apply and ok. Now check for the issue.
    Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.

  • Macbook touchpad too sensitive

    I have a Macbook Pro running all the latest software (i.e. patches are all up to date). Since I purchased the Macbook I've noticed that the touchpad is way too sensitive. I'm often using it without a mouse so having the touch turned on is nice, but it is so sensitive it is constantly clicking when I don't want it to, no matter how soft I try to use the pad.
    I can't seem to find a way to adjust the sensitivity.
    Anyone know how to do this, or do I need to turn off touch-to-click options?
    Thanks!
    Clark

    1. System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad
         Double-click speed
        Try adjusting the speed a bit lower.
    2. Shutdown the computer.
        Clean the Trackpad with a dry microfiber cloth.

  • Touchpad too sensitive on G580

    Friends
    My wife is using a Lenovo G580 with Win 8.1 and she complains that the touchpad is way too sensitive. Sometimes she hardly touches the surface, or even just touch the side of the touchpad and the computer does weird things. Is there a way to de-sensitive it? Or, can it be de-acitvated? The latter is not a good option as she uses it on her lap often and cannot use an external mouse at that time.
    Thanks
    Carl

  • Touchpad too sensitive to tapping gesture

    Since updating to Windows 10 three days ago, my SynapticsTouchpad is too sensitive to tapping. When I disable the tapping gesture in the touchpad settings by unchecking the "tapping gesture" box, the touchpad works fine. However, whenever I shut down or restart the computer, the "tapping gesture" box checks  itself again automatically when the PC powers back up. Having to go into settings to disable tapping every time I boot up sucks. I need to either make the touchpad sensitivity less sensitive  to tapping  (a work-around) or find a way to keep the tapping gesture from re-enabling itself every time the machine reboots (ideal solution). There is no sensitivity adjustment available in the settings. The current driver is version 19.0.12.95 dated 7-15-2015. The HP Support Assistant says that this is the most current version available. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Touchpad Too Sensitive

    I've had a Satellite L875-S7208 for about a month, and am sick and tired of the extreme sensitivity of the touchpad.  I don't even had to touch it...if my hand is anywhere near it, it clicks and goes to the next page.  I only want it to work when I physically click the left-click button.
    Don't tell me to go to control panel/mouse pad.  There IS no such option in the control panel, and I've searched it thoroughly.
    This is terribly frustrating.

    I think it varies on touchpad driver, but for those of us with Elan Smart Pad, there is no option to disable the tap to click feature. However, there is a fairly simple work-around that requires a quick registry edit. Here's the steps that worked for me:
    1)Push the Windows Key + R and type "regedit" - click ok
    2)Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Elantech/SmartPad
    3)Find the file "Tap_Enable" and double click on it
    4)Change the value data from 1 to 0
    Tap to click will still be enabled until you log out and then log back in. Your tap to click should now be disabled.
    Hope that helps those with the same driver as me!

  • Mac mouse is too sensitive. Anyone know how to relax it?

    Mac wireless mouse is too sensitive and jumps around ahead of me. Anyone know how to slow it down? 

    I had the same problem, with a new iMac: I was getting a lot of random scrolling, in the middle of editing work, and it was very annoying.
    Contacted Apple and they told me to do an SMC (?) reset, which changed nothing.
    I then realized that the problem was from an over-sensitive Magic Mouse. Many users seem to complain about this over-sensitivity, especially for newer computers.
    So, a while ago, I took the following advice the website at the end of this post.
    Control the touch-sensitive area of this mouse with the free app MagicPrefs (not clear why Apple does not provide something this useful):
    download it from http://magicprefs.com/ and install
    then go to its Preferences
    in the new window that opens, click on Configure Scrolling, at the bottom right
    you will then see the sensitive area of your mouse
    click and drag to reduce that area
    I had found that especially touching the edges of the mouse start the random scrolling
    so, I made the touch-sensitive area for scrolling very small, and in the top-middle of the mouse, about where the scroll-wheel would be on a normal mouse.
    Hope this saves you all a lot of frustration.
    P.S. I learned about MagicPrefs from one of these frustrated people

    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Sorry to say reloading WebOS did not help this issue on my TP. contacted Support and was told to send it.Even sorrier to say that my TP is now lost. My tracking number reports it as delievered on Dec 5, but HP has no record of it.When I got back on Chat they  are now also telling me that my TP serial number is a EU model, even though my box clearly states HP Touchpad ,US, 1.20,32gb,Wifi.
    Not sure what that even has to do with it being lost now..if it is as they say and no warranty on it in US I just want it sent back.

  • How to change visibility property of a VC iView by clicking of a BI iView?

    Hi all!
    I have created four iViews: two speedometers with web application designer and two iViews with visual composer. I added the speedometers and a visual composer iView #1 to a portal page (default view). The requirement is that by clicking the speedometer #2, the visual composer iView #2 would replace visual composer iView #1 on the portal page. If the user then would select the speedometer #1 again by clicking it, visual composer iView #2 would replace #1 again and so on.
    I have read article http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/50b65a5d-f397-2910-a78a-f5544f21c33b?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true, but it is more about filtering VC iView values with BI web items. I don't need to filter anything, just to change one iView to another in a portal view by clicking a third one. How can I check what values my web application with Z_SERVICEOUTBOUND template is transfering to VC?
    One solution might be¨to transfer any value to VC by clicking a speedometer and to change the visibility of the VC iViews according to that value (the speedometer #1 should in that case transfer other value to VC than speedometer #2). I don't know if that is possible with speedometers - you can't reference any characteristics or variables with it.
    If you have an idea, what would be the best way to accomplish this requirement, I would be very glad to hear about it! We are in VC 7.0.
    Points garanteed!
    Regards
    Sari

    Hi
    Since you are accesing the node containing the 'VISIBILITY' attribute you can use the following method to set the value
    lo_el_visible->set_attribute(
    exporting
    name = `VISIBILITY`
    value = 01 ). ""01 - none,02-visible
    and remove this code
    wd_context->set_attribute( EXPORTING name = 'VISIBILITY' value =
    abap_false ).

  • How to change the default search engine? I accidentaly change it from google to yahoo, and I can't get it back. I changed my homepage too, but it isn't solved. Thanks

    dear, there.
    how to change the default search engine? I accidentaly change it from google to yahoo, and I can't get it back. I changed my homepage to google too, but it isn't solved. Thanks

    Clarification:
    I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
    If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

  • How to change external display resolution WITHOUT clicking "CONFIRM"?

    I have a somewhat unusual situation. My MacBook laptop is actually now a ModBook (a pen-tablet computer), and as such I no longer have a trackpad attached to it. All of my inputs are via the stylus, tapping directly on the built-in display.
    This works perfectly fine, except when I need to give presentations on an LCD projector (which is quite often lately). I like to use the projector as an external monitor, so that I can run the Keynote presentation on it while using my laptop screen as the presenter's display, with the upcoming slide, etc. If the projector doesn't give me an ideal native display option (sometimes, the aspect ratio for the  3 or 4 resolutions available in the Displays drop-down in the menubar turn out to be stretched or squeezed), then I, naturally, have to open the Display System Preferences and try out different resolutions.
    The problem is, since my stylus only interacts by clicking directly on the built-in-display, I have no way of moving the cursor over to the external display when the dialog box with the "Click here to confirm change/You have 15 seconds..." message appears. So I can never click it ... so I can never confirm the new settings.
    The workarounds I've used so far are:
    - Mirror displays (not ideal, as I need the presenter preview of the next slide)
    - borrow a mouse from someone (usually from a Windows desktop, frankly) and plug that in to briefly mouse over and click the confirm button
    I'd love to find a software workaround that allows me to NOT mirror displays and also doesn't require me to carry around a mouse all the time (my laptop bag is already overstuffed...).
    Thanks.

  • Firefox 29.0 opens new windows from clicking links that are in a smaller window, should open as maximized window. How to change?

    How do I click a link on a web page, and not have to maximize the window every time? Firefox 29 seemed to add this additional click annoyance and I can't see how to change that. I do not want full screen mode which is what Firefox calls it when it removes an additional row of menu items. I mean maximizing the window so I don't have to do it each time! Please tell me how to change the settings and restore this normal feature.

    Go to
