Do you use your laptop's touch pad?

[redlake_56]

pag mobile touch pad. pag nasabahay and office, or if i need to do office works like powerpoints, excel and word, i use the mouse. pg mobile surfing sa mga wi fi spots, touch pad ako.

Depends on what I'm doing and/or where I am. If in a cramped space, touch pad. Kung may desk na patungan, mouse.

If I'm drawing something, mouse or pen tablet.

95% mouse. I use th touchpad only when I transfer files to the ipod shuffle, di kasi magkasya pag yung mouse and shuffle magkatabi.

pero pag gamit ko yung sa ate ko, touchpad parati, katamad magkabit ng mouse.

Hehe, kapag naiwan ko lang yung mouse.

I use the touch pad most of the time, even tapping it in lieu of
left-clicking the assigned buttons.

Lately however, the pointer drifts uncontrollably
even when I use the eraser head of attach an optical mouse.

Could the excess tapping of the touchpad be the cause?

Would appreciate some feedback from anybody experiencing
the same. BTW, am using a Dell C610.

[nugundam93]

it is possible that the palmrest cable came loose already, causing the problem (sometimes). try to go to support.dell.com, look for the teardown guide for your system, and take out the keyboard and its cable.

if no-go, the entire palmrest might need to be replaced since the touchpad is integrated to it and there's no separate part number for the touchpad.

OK Nugundam93 thanks, will give it a go. Anyway, the pointer drifting
seems to have stopped and medyo normal na siya the past few days.

Medyo sinusumpong lang siguro pag napapalakas yung tapik ko sa touchpad.

I'm making a mental note not to tap the touchpad and click instead the
assigned buttons.

I never use a notebook pc unless I place it on a table. The touchpads are fine. But I prefer a cordless mouse. I also carry along a compact cordless keyboard. So, I don't use the notebook keyboard either. Actually, my laptop backpack is big enough to stuff in a fullsize (Micro Innovations) cordless keyboard and mouse set.

There's nothing I do that makes me so busy that I have to set the notebook on my lap and use the touchpad.
