    I have a t510 and when I don't use a real mouse, I solely use the touchpad. The trackpoint is only good for driving warthogs on halo :D. I have noticed that I need to middle click a lot (like on firefox) and those tap zones don't work for me (about 1/5 of the time it actually middle clicks). Is there some mod that will turn the middle button on the trackpoint (used for scrolling) into a middle click?

    Press Fn + F8, go to the UltraNav tab. Click on the TrackPoint settings button. Under "Choose Scrolling or Magnifying Glass Function," make sure "Scrolling" is selected. Click the Settings button, and make sure "Smooth" is selected under
    "Scrolling Type." That should allow you to use the middle click TrackPoint button just like the scroll wheel of a mouse, with middle click.
