I use my mac book trackpad all the time, and it does as it should all the time. And I understand that sometimes you get what you pay for (e.g expensive Mac versus relatively inexpensive Lenovo), but I have been using trackpads for a long time and this just seems less about physical quality and more about someone in Lenovo actually trying this thing out before being released to the public. I am forced to use an external mouse all the time. Just seems archaic to me.

Agreed. The usage of this trackpad is not like any I have used before. Seems less intuitive. I havent seen anyone post anything, but I would like something that just removes all the fancy capabilties and just gives me basic motions and nothing else. If I wanted to have lots of gestures I would use my Mac.

All, I luckily use an external mouse and keyboard routinely which means I dont have to use the build in trackpad or keyboard very often. However, on Tuesday I needed to travel and wasnt in a spot to attach an external mouse. The trackpad is horrible. It doesnt scroll properly, or feel right in anyway. I read through the forums and disassembled the laptop to apply new tape and move current tape with no real change in behavior. I have the synaptics version of the trackpad. Has anyone else had any luck making this more useful? I even tried to adjust the settings and run through the "practice" maze utility provided by Synaptics and I can barely get it to move. Any additional guidance or help would be much appreciated. Thanks

In the picture you have of the silver tape, you are saying you moved the silver tape from the green circle to where the red circle is? I assume you used the silver tape because it needs to conduct?

I agree with a lot of the other posts on here, This laptop is quite powerful, but has a number of lenovo influenced limitations like the wifi. I hope this mod will solve my problem using a new Centrino 6300. Another quick question - I read in the earlier part of this forum about somethings not working. I am only looking to use the mod for removal of the wlan whitelist. Has anyone had a bad experience or loss of functionality from this mod that would make using it not a good idea? I use this laptop routinely for work, and would hate to find out that my video cards work poorly now, or something like that.
