    Guys,

    I just got a new Lenovo Edge 13 from JR.com and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. If I'm using the trackpoint, the left click button seems to take a lot more pressure than the right click button. Specifically, if I try to click it too close to the middle button, I have to put a LOT of pressure on it (just pressing it down does not do it) to make it register. I've gotten quite frustrated with thinking I've clicked on something, when I've only been pressing the button half way. The right click button is much more sensitive, and anywhere I depress it, no matter how light, will register a click.

    I could see if both buttons were the same, but since there's this difference, I'm getting really annoyed.

    Anyone else get this? Do you think it warrants a return?

    Not unless you're just looking for an excuse to return it.

    Otherwise, just call support, have them ship you a new keyboard and replace it yourself.

    Watch the movie to see how it's done.

    Another thing I've noticed, not to be nit-picky, but the cursor, when using the trackpoint, doesn't smoothly glide across the screen. It looks like it's skipping. Anyone else?
