GS70 Trackpad driving me INSANE. Help?

One of the stupidest features of all time is this all in one trackpad crap.

Whenever trying to click the lower left button for left click, it sometimes registers the slight slight movement of my finger and MOVES THE MOUSE.
The mac trackpads dont have this issue at all.

I tried tinkering with every setting possible with sensitivity and all that. Running the latest driver from the MSI site.

Anyway to DISABLE the lower 20% of the trackpad to pick up movement and only register the clicks?

THanks!

 

Did it pick up the swiping movement from your fingers?
Try disabling the 2-fingers function and see if it improves.
Personally, the ClickPad can be a headache to use but once you restore it to the basic function touchpad as before then it works better for many.

 

Yeah thats exactly whats going on. I just dont want the lower half to pick up swipes. I really do like the 2 finger swipes for web pages and things so I dont want to lose that. It just seems that the mac touch pads do exactly the same thing but dont have any of these issues.

 

You still can keep the 2-finger swipe, just disable the 2-finger on edge swiping part in the configuration utility.

 

Ahhh Thanks Kevin... 2 finger on edge... I need to dig in there and find that. Ill give it a try and report back.

***Hmm I looked everywhere in the configuration and dont see anything under any option that has anything to do with just the edge. When you have a moment can you steer me to where that setting is?

Thanks Kevin!

 

Another workaround is to get used to tapping your finger to click not ideal I know but it means you don't rely on left click (or right click if you get good at tapping with two fingers).

 

Can you take screenshots of every page in the Elantech touchpad configuration?
I forgot the actual name of that function.

 

Yeah its actually my GF's new laptop and she is coming from a mac so convincing her to do things differently then she did on the mac trackpad is not gonna happen. Its a shame because she really does like the laptop but the trackpad is just aweful and shes thinking about returning it if I cant sort this out.

Ill get the screenshots when I can but every screen doesnt have anything that says edge at all. Wish it did...

 

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I have having the exact problem.. It's enough to make me want to return it since I use it for hours a day for programming and it's driving me insane.

Half the time when I "left click" it will move the cursor down about a text line and then click.. I've fiddled with every setting in the mouse drivers and nothing fixes it.
