HP ENVY touchpad, 2 finger scrolling SUCKS

Is there some trick to this? like 1 in 8 times it actually scrolls, it's not even smoothl, it like jumps, not smoothly scrolls the page.

 

Am I missing something about how to do this? I hold my finger on the bottom left panel and scroll with another finger on the scroll bar on the webpage, and have no issues.

Should I be doing something else? And did you decide to continue to try it out (the Envy, I mean)? It passed a big test for me today when I had class for five hours today...with the slice, on power saver, with admittedly only light surfing and doing stuff when I needed to...I had 70% left after three hours.

 

The 2 finger scrolling works a treat on mine? Its pretty smooth, and responsive. Not quite up to par with the Macbook Pro, but pretty damn close IMO.

Maybe you should look at re-installing/updating the touchpad drivers? Do a Google search for the issue first, see if others are having a similar problem, then see if you can find a recommended fix.

 

I have 2 finger scrolling enabled, but it seems to ONLY catch when my fingers are liek .5in apart, i cant just have 2 fingers on teh pad and be scrolling like I'm used to on my MacBook. I end up getting this crosshairs looking mouse.

 

The trick is to have your fingers about a finger-width apart. If they're too close to each other it can't figure out it's two fingers.

 

Oh hey, look at that. Yes, it works pretty easily.

 

thats retarded, Why can Apple do it so easily?


Also I found a small app called TwoFingerClick that fixes my scrolling problem.

 

It works like charm on mine with 15.0.9 driver

 

You also need to jack up the sensitivity and mess with the scroll speed. no real excuses with the pad. I have seen some Asus and Acer that perform great with multitouch so I don't really know what gives.

I think it might have something to do with apple holding some patents and American companies being too scared to get make it too similar.

*sigh* America, where advancement in technology isn't held back by lack of funding or knowledge but patent disputes.....

 

mine work good. i used my middle finger and ring finger to scroll it work well.

 

Same here, works perfectly here. Running the 15.0.9 drivers and it is quite responsive. Just don't put the 2 fingers too close, as it won't read them separately, otherwise it works very nice.
