Touchpad left and right clicks don't work on Yoga 2 pro

Hi,
I just bought a a yoga 2 pro. After setting up, I found that the two bottom keys, left and right keys on the trackpad do not work. Double tap also doesn't work. I reinstall the touchpad driver to no avail. Other gestures on the touchpad work fine, single tap registers as left click, two finger scroll also works. Also, when I use a blue tooth mouse, left and right key works fine.
I am not sure if this is a hardware problem as when I swipe on the area of the two bottom keys, they register the movement. Just not click. Anyone can help me?

Hello,
I've had a Yoga2 Pro now for six months or so.  Just recently the left click stopped working correctly.  What I notice is that when holding down the left click button on the touch pad, and I try to drag a slider (like a volume slider or to drag a selection box or to drag a scroll box on a page, or to highlight text) and it stops holding down the click.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it keeps stopping.  
Now, the right click is malfunctioning as well.  I press right click on something like an image, and nothing happens.  I have to right click on something 2-10 times now for it to register that I'm right clicking.
Also, should I be able to tap the touchpad with two fingers and have that be a right click, or am I just reading that I should be able to do that on the screen (which  can)?
I have downloaded the drivers for the y2p touchpad and the y2-13 and the generic ones from the synaptics webpage, but before I uninstall my drivers and try to install those, I want to be sure that is the correct and only possible fix.  I'm hoping its not a hardware malfunction.  I am running Win 8.1.
Thank you.

  • Trackpad won't move curser mouse does. Left and right click working fine

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem. Out of nowhere my trackpad won't move the curser anymore. Connecting a USB mouse does. Left and right click are still working fine. Any ideas of how to fix it?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Hey there DaveDaMac,
    It sounds like your built in track pad is not responding at all, but your USB mouse works without issue. I recommend the troubleshooting in this article for you named:
    Intel-based Mac notebooks: Troubleshooting unresponsive trackpad issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248
    Try disconnecting the MagSafe connector from the computer and check the trackpad function. If the trackpad becomes responsive again, improper grounding may be the issue.
    If a two-prong AC plug is being used with the power adapter, try using the three-prong power cable that shipped with your computer and plug it into a grounded outlet.
    If the issue persists, make sure the third prong is present and do not use an adapter to enable the three-prong adapter to be used in a two-prong outlet. Note that the ground in the three-prong outlet may not be connected. This is common in older homes or buildings with replaced outlets. In these situations, the three-prong power cable will not improve trackpad responsiveness.
    If a grounded outlet is not available, rest your palm on the palm rest when using the trackpad. This should enable the trackpad to function properly.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

    Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
    When this has completed, restart the notebook.
    When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    Now follow the directions under the sub-heading 'Adjust horizontal and vertical scrolling' in the document on the link below to configure the scroll options as you require.

  • Why after i update my left and right arrow keys stop working

    my left and right arrow keys stoped working after i updated to Mavericks now the dont work

    Hello ccombs2014,
    It sounds like 2 of your keys are not working after updating to Mavericks. I found this section of an article for you to help troubleshoot this issue named:
    One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1381
    Some keys don't work as expected
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Speech.
    Click the Text to Speech tab.
    If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
    Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
    Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
    In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
    If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
    Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
    Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
    If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
    Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working.  If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly.  Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • 2011 17" MBP TrackPad Left and Right Click Intermittent in Win7/64

    A few weeks ago I installed Win7 Pro 64 via Bootcamp in a new 2011 MBP 17 (2.3gig).   Since day one the trackpad left and right click buttons have been intermittent in Windows only. 
    For example, while surfing the web some clicks work, others don't, often have to repeat clicks to get it to work, then next time it will work the first time. This is not just a Safari problem, it happens in every program including the Finder. 
    I think it is a driver issue and Apple needs to get on the ball and fix the problem and send out an update (yes I have the latest version).
    I saw where a guy had written drivers to address the problems with the low quality Apple drivers.  His is called TrackPad+++ but it is bloated and I'd rather not install it nor should have to.
    Anyone else having this problem or found a good solution?   BTW an external USB mouse works great.

    After a little bit of looking around i found my answer! Use the BootCamp Control Panel that you can call up by clicking on the boot camp icon in the notifications panel. There one can enable tap to click, dragging, and right click.

  • Left click acting like both left and right click

    Left Click button is acting like both left and right click button HP 2000 Notebook PC

    Could you try to use another mouse? If the other mouse works perfect, then your mouse pad must be damaged and you should look to get it fixed or just use a mouse instead. If not, then the settings on how the clicks act must have been altered. 
    Try to find a mouse to try first before looking at the settings for your mouse pad. You could maybe borrow one if anyone else has a computer with a mouse in your home.
    While you do that, I'll work on searching if this is common and if their is a solution if it's the software.

  • Middle click and right click won't work?

    Previously i used nightly but i uninstalled it due to it's unstable. When installing firefox, everything is ok. But i realize my middle click and right click won't work. I have check the "About:config" page and the "browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick" is "true". I try to reinstall it but no effects.
    Please help. i can't open new tab or downloading images with this issues.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Left and right click at the same time?

    Is there a way to get the magic mouse to do left and right click at the same time? Useful for well.. gaming.

    Check out the free Magicprefs software. You can then assign different functions to different clicks. swipes, taps, etc. There is an option for a two finger click and one of those options is "hold both right & left". It's free so you have noting to lose.

  • My left and right click on the trackpad don't work.

    From reading a number of the posts here, it would seem that trackpads not working is an issue that Apple may need to look into. I have personally resorted to using a mouse and the trackpad as a touchpad. For all the finger gestures, my trackpad works fine, but it doesn't respond at all to the left or right click options. It clicks audibly, but neither responds. There were some posts about playing around with a PRAM (whatever that may be), but surely there must be a more definitive solution. Does anyone know if this is an issue that is being addressed by Apple or does anyone know of a permanent solution? I don't mind continue to use the external mouse, but it seems a shame that the trackpad malfunctions and there is no apparent solution; that's unlike an Apple product. Your input would be appreciated.

    This fixed it :
    "Solution:
    With the laptop open, turn it on to it's side. Repeatedly click the trackpad with a firm, but not excessive amount of force. Put the laptop on the other side and repeat.
    I can't explain why this works. Perhaps some amount of debris or dust has built up under there ? I went from not being able to click-drag without an excessive amount of pressure, back to a normal amount of pressure after doing this."

  • Left and Right Arrow Keys Not Working

    I know this has been asked A LOT, but I can't find a concise answer that works.
    Some have had success with fixing something in their System Preferences, then Keyboard Shortcuts. I don't know what this means, went there, and can't add left/right commands as the keys don't do anything. This is probably something easily explained, but I need to be walked through the steps as I don't know how to "add shortcuts" exactly.
    I just really need the left and right keys, as I'm a writer and that helps to fix typos quicker.

  • Left and right keys doesn't work

  • Left and right Arrow keys Not working now

    My left and right arrow keys are not working properly now.
    For example, when typing, left arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the left), and right arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the right). Also, control + left no longer activates spaces, and control + right no longer activates spaces.
    Interestingly, in investigating the problem, I noticed that my shortcut keys for activating spaces and for activating expose had been changed (software update?). Before, I had set F5 (without pressing fn) for expose and had set F6 (without pressing fn) for spaces. Now, I noticed spaces was set back to the default of F8 (requiring fn).
    The issue persists after shut down, and even when logged on to other users, e.g. Guest.
    All other keys seem to be working fine, including the up and down arrows.
    It is not hardware because fn + left + right produces the "[" character on the screen.
    Any ideas?

    You might want to post in the MacBook forums as this seems to be a hardware issue and those gurus hang out there. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=248

  • Left and Right-Clic​k Only Working Half The Time

    Ok, I have a Pavilion G6, A6Y36UA#ABA  The last few days, my mouse (trackpad and buttons on the laptop NOT an external one) works fine but I can't left-click on the desktop, start menu (or apparently Paint?). Everytime I try to left-click, the right-click menu pops up (except in Paint. It doesn't do anything in Paint except not work). I tried right clicking thinking it was backwards but that doens't work.
    I can left click as normal on the task bar, in Microsoft Word and in my Internet browser but I can't RIGHT click. (I can use the keyboard buton to bring up the right-click menu but it's still a pain) and for some reason, once I open more than one tab in Chrome, I can't go back to the earlier tabs unless I first close the tabs opened after it (also annoying).
    I've restarted the computer. Uninstalled the touch pad driver, restarted, reinstalled the device driver, restarted and I'm STILL having problems with it. Please help!

    I understand that your right-click and left-click buttons aren't quite working the way they should.
    What happens if you boot into a clean boot state?
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Also, what happens if you boot into safe mode with networking? This can be done by turning the system on and pressing F8 about once a second to get the options for safe mode.

    Then I wouldn't think it's to do with the Arch, updating does not stop parts of the keyboard working for the bios as it's separate firmware. When you can access the bios after first turning on, your PC has not yet accessed the hard drive to load the drivers for the operating system yet. Also as far as I'm aware Arch (or any other operating system in fact) has never updated the bios firmware.
