  1. Looking for clarification on how two-finger right-click works


    I've recently purchases a mid-2019 Razer Blade 15 base model, and have been having issues with the two-finger right-click not tap.


    I'm finding that the function only works if I remove both fingers from the touchpad before clicking. If I keep one finger on the touchpad to scroll around, I can only single click.


    I've tried updating the drivers, factory resetting and even sending it back to the manufacturer who claim there is no fault with the hardware. Could somebody confirm whether it is possible to two-finger right-click on a Windows laptop without removing all fingers from the touchpad? Previously I have only used Macbooks where doing so is possible, so I'm not sure whether this is a Windows thing or an issue with my particular laptop.

    :)

  2. Disable two-finger click for right click, but keep two-finger tap

    Symptoms:

    • Go into TouchPad settings and disable "Press the lower right corner of the touchpad to right click"
    • Also disable "Tap with two fingers to right click"

    Then--while holding your tracking finger (e.g. middle finger) on the TouchPad, click with your clicking finger (e.g. index finger) and release. Observe it is interpreted as a right click, despite the disablements above.

    At least it does now--as far as I can tell this is something that just happened in a recent Windows Update...on both a Surface Book and Lenovo Yoga 720. I haven't changed how I use the touchpad in any way. And for how my fingers work, it misfires very frequently...thinking my moving tracking finger not being fully lifted when clicking intends a right click menu. I see no way to disable this interpretation.

    I'm fine using two-finger tap for right click. The non-configurable lower-right click region never works for how my hand is placed, so I've had to live with this for quite some time. But not this thing I assume must be new (because I never had trouble with it before, nor knew there was a "two-finger click"). Being sure to pull my tracking finger completely off the trackpad to completely clear it for the click is not something I can (or want) to retrain myself to do--too inefficient.

    Can people confirm that this is the case on their machines too, and is there any way to disable "two-finger click for right click" and only enable "two-finger tap for right click"?

  3. synaptics - Two finger click to right click not working

    Hi,

    I have synaptics touchpad installed and even though two finger click is enabled in the synaptics control panel, it still does not allow me to.

    It seems it is only that gesture that's not working as two finger scroll works, so does all 3 finger and 4 finger gestures. Literally just the two finger click to right click doesn't work.

    See photo of the checked option in control panel.

    I have tried the following:

    * uninstalled and reinstalled synaptics drivers

    * restarted laptop

    * disabled the two finger click option and re-enabled it again

    I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 330-15ICH

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Dan

    two finger tap right click

    Hi Likhith,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    We are unable to tell about the where the settings could be since it differ depending on the driver manufacturer. I would suggest you contact the Manufacturer regarding the settings. However, you may try and update touchpad driver and check if it enables two
    finger right-click action.

    Follow the steps.

    • Press Windows key + X key and click Device Manager.
    • Expand the Mice and other pointing devices.
    • Right-click on the Touchpad Driver
      and select Update Driver Software.
    • Wait for sometime and check if the problem is resolved.
    • Restart your system.
