ELAN Smart-Pad Issue. Touchpad and Keyboard Won't Work Simultaneously

PennyNyx

Hi,

I'm really sorry if this has been answered before. I spent over 5 hours straight last night trying to find a solution and (obviously) couldn't find anything.

 

I have an Acer Aspire V3-571G, and the touchpad is an ELAN Smart-Pad (driver version: ETDWare PS/2-X64 10.6.9.9_WHQL).

 

My problem is that I am unable to both use the keyboard (e.g. typing) and move the cursor simultaneously. Whilst I see the advantage of this in some situations, it is very inconvenient when playing games, as I have to use an external mouse.

 

I have played with the mouse/touchpad and keyboard settings every way I can think of, and I still cannot work it out. I also tried updating the driver for the touchpad, but as it turns out I have the most recent one. I am also aware that others have this issue, so it is unlikely that it's an actual problem with the touchpad.

 

tldr; If anyone knows how to make it so that I can both type and move the cursor simultaneously, your help would be more appreciated than you can imagine.

 

Thankyou so much for your help!

Hi, PennyNyx.

 

In order to make use of the touchpad and the keyboard simultaneously, you need to change some settings in the Mouse Properties.

 

Here are the steps to do so:

Go to Control Panel.

Click Hardware and mouse.

Click Mouse.

Click on ELAN tab and select Options.

Click on Additional tab.

If the TP Rejection is enable disabled, enable it.

Click Apply and Ok.
