Default Acer laptop mouse pad buttons

I make heavy use of this and it doesn't have separate buttons as such,
they are just a hidden part of the mouse pad nearest you, a clicky
part. I have always found them difficult to use, because guessing where
to actually press and they need a lot of pressure, much more pressure
as you move out either side from close to the middle.

A;most impossible to just press and click in the right spot, without
looking where you were pressing, as there is no tactile feedback.

Last night, I superglued a short bit of 1mm CSA copper wire on the pad,
to identify the mid-point between the buttons - so much better.

Chris Hogg submitted this idea :
Could you not just use a different mouse? They are as cheap as chips,
after all.


It makes a laptop much more cumbersome.

Train yourself to use "tap to click" (enable it if it's currently disabled). Then you can tap anywhere on the mousepad, and very lightly. Once you're used to it, it makes having to click in a particular location seem very 1990s...
