    So i just got my AW15 and I noticed that the command center does not have any alientouch button
    it only has alienfx alientactx and alien fusion.
    I updated the command center and the synaptic driver, any advice?

    Also is there a way to keep the touchpad permanently illuminated?

    thanks

    There's no AlienTouch in the newest command centers. You can still change the touchpad options under the control panel.

    You can enable it in the BIOS, it's should be somewhere in the Advance tab, under the drop down menu of "T-Pad", select it from Auto to On. Then it will be lit until you manually disable it.
