Its a known issue, i know. But my touchpad has always been loose, but its gotten worse and worse and its now at a point where the touchpad is basically unusable.
Anyone know if there is another thinkpad with a better quality touchpad i can fit into this bloody thing?
Or i could just use the trackpoint, but i reckon i'd get a brain aneurism from the irritaion in under a week.
Take a look at our

E530 touchpad
Re: E530 touchpad
I would recommend trying out the trackpoint for a week. It is a little cumbersome to use at first, but it gets much easier and you will find it more productive to use. Here is the way I use it that makes it comfortable:
-use the index finger for the trackpoint cap
-rest the palm on the palmrest in such a way that has the index finger align with the trackpoint and the thumb with the right corner of the trackpoint left mouse button.
-focus more on pushing the trackpoint cap in the direction that you want the cursor to move, not down into the keyboard.
-alternatively, you can also rest the left hand on the palmrest with the left thumb on the left trackpoint button, and the the right thumb on the middle scroll button.
