Guaranteed buyer here, I hate that buttonless clickpad so much that I just skipped the t440s gen.
I know its a 3 button click pad.... I can see it.... Any chance to tell me the functionality and any cool tricks?????
So what does the middle button do????????? could someone please explain ???
Activates the scroll feature on the track point
what happens with the middle button on the clickpad
I just love how 'customer feedback' sounds so much like 'raging shitstorm' and plumetting sales ^^
@Lenovo: Just admit that you should have listened to the ergonomics guy instead of the one who talks about 'angles' and 'design'.
I love this track pad. I don't use it the way they show here. I use my left hand thumb to left click while moving the cursor with my right index finger. I love it. I feel that my hands are not as strained and feels more efficient for me. Does anyone know of a portable version of this? I have an x1 carbon and I hate my finger prints all over it. I want to buy a keyboard and pair it with a trackpad with this design.
Don't care whether it's improvement or just bringing back the old trackpoint buttons... I support the decision. When mainly use trackpoint (instead of touchpad), those buttons are essential.
It's funny how companies are removing something good and old and in next series they announce it back like new innovation. :-D I don't understand why are they doing this, common person can't understand this. Notebooks for real users should be strictly separated from models for today hipsters.
thank you very much for this design change! I loved my old ThinkPad, I'll buy a new one tomorrow!
so they did improved the trackpoint's buttons or they just put it back in and claim it to be a new thing?
kinda. :D
But they make it like something new...(annoyed) unless they did in fact made changes to the buttons
Thanks for putting the T440s owners under the bus.
HELP!
My middle button does not open and close tabs within browsers. This is not adjustable within newest drivers.
Thank you so much for this design change! Now I might have incentive to toss in my t400, which I still love, but I still might do a motherboard and cpu upgrade before that because I love my t400 so much.
Me with my W540 with the one-button touchpad that I actually like:
I love my t480s but the left and middle button sometimes they make the click sound but does not register, gets annoying.
I just hope my T530 will work forever :) This is not innovation, this is just being like others. It bugs me they messed up the X240. I bought an HP to replace my (now pretty old) X201.
So can I use these button as left and right click?
I love ThinkPads, but I won't buy a laptop without mouse buttons. When I touch a button, my cursor doesn't move around arbitrarily. Seems like this should be basic HID design, but here we are.
I have an older P50 with six independent mouse buttons that are remapped, and I use them regularly. I was really thankful that Lenovo remained with its utility when I bought it. But I'm disappointed in the current design.
Maybe in the next few years when I'm back in the market, I'll see if the touchpad has improved. For now, I'll be looking for alternatives to a Thinkpad.
Well, what I want: 100x65 mm (NOT the 100x75 mm) with 3 physical buttons AND matte glass surface. Also with some grease inside so it would not rattle like garbage.
still seems unusual to have the click buttons below the trackpad, but it probably works out pretty well since you probably will use tap to click most of the time
Is there a touchpad with buttons for the Legion 5 series please!?
I'm considering getting a Legion 5 17" configured with a Ryzen 4800 and a 2070 but i have never liked any laptop with a single flat touch pad with out buttons!
Hi, Duffimus Prime. May we know what touchpad buttons you're referring to? Did you mean raised buttons similar to external keyboards? Unfortunately, we do not have Legions with raised touchpad. You can click below for interesting news on upcoming Legion models:

Thanks for choosing Lenovo as your brand of choice. Carll_Lenovo
touchpad with buttons are the iconic parts of Thinkpad, if Legion lineup will have them it destroys the purpose. But I will be honest, a Legion Laptop with touchpad is pretty cool idea. I also hope the new legion will have touchpad with button and hope that all Lenovo Laptop line up will have the nostalgic buttons on the touchpad, at least if not the touchpad
@@Lenovo Most of my laptops have been 2nd hand Dell Vostros and Latitudes and my latest one was a Latitude E6540. They all had separate clicker buttons separate from the touch pad. Every time I would use a friend or family's non lenovo laptop with only one flat clicker touch pad, I would always have issues with it registering a click and a drag like it would conflict they're always finicky and random.
I actually did end up getting a Leg - Ion 5 (its a Dawid youtuber thing😄) configured with a Ryzen7,2060,32GB 17" 144hz. I got it in December direct from Lenovo and
I gotta say **I LOVE IT SO MUCH!** Its the best flat clicker touch pad I have used. It doesn't conflict when power using and multi tasking, click holding, dragging and dropping.
and please don't discontinue the SD card reader in the next generations when I want to upgrade!
@@Lenovo Fuck you for ruining the p1 with gen7.
TrackPoint rules. Hands down more efficient by design than a touch pad. With the return of the tradtional buttons, that efficiency and ease of use jumps. Nice job Lenovo.
Can anyone tell me what's the use of the third big button on the keypad?
Hello Shubham, thanks for reaching out. If you're pertaining to the middle button on the touchpad, this is used to scroll up and down on pages. You can also view this link: lnv.gy/3HH04Qf for a similar discussion. Allan_Lenovo
I can accept a clickpad in an X230 as a space compromise, but on larger frames it is just stupid misguided macbook envy. Silly world, what's there to envy about a macbook...
what is the use of the center button?
Hi, lnv.gy/3ioedXg. Thanks for your interest .The TrackPoint center button can be used to scroll through documents or Web pages. The button can also be used to activate a magnifying glass that enlarges items on the screen. Place the cursor over the document or Web page to scroll through. Carll_Lenovo
ALl laptops should be mandated to integarte the 3 button clickpad. The entire Laptop is a piece of junk without that
I have T480. one day after warranty over my left button stop working
Hello Yogesh Bombe. Thank you for reaching us for support. We're sorry for the trouble. Kindly send a private message on Facebook, or send us a direct message on Twitter and share the case number, together with the serial number of the Lenovo unit. You may use this #2141174 case number as your reference to this conversation. Wilson_Lenovo
But what is the middle button for?
It's for scrolling by default
Help, I go to "Mouse Properties (Touchpad Clickpad Trackpad TrackPoint Mouse Pointer Pointing Pad)" on the Start menu. Then on the "Mouse Properties" menu, I click "Settings" on the "TrackPoint" section and click the checkbox next to "Enable TrackPoint Scrolling Tips". I can use the TrackPoint button for scrolling on the mouse pad without using the mouse, but later the next day, it turns itself. Does this happen after not using it for a while?
My model number is T430s.
Have you already downloaded the latest mouse driver from our website yet? If not, please click lnv.gy/3rBsTVG enter your laptop serial number and then go to drivers and then scan for updates. Arjay_Lenovo
@@Lenovo Well I clicked on the notification of your reply, but for some reason, my comment disappeared. I'll try restarting the computer first, sorry about that.
Hi Drew. Another support to assist you. Sure, you may a perform power drain by removing all connected (AC adapter, USB flash drive, etc.), shut it down, press and hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Turn it back on after a few minutes and see if you'll have the same issue. Are there any changes or updates prior to this issue? Ash_Lenovo
someone have the link to the drivers
Why not just include a damn MOUSE
apple macbook had better touch pad in 2010 than current model thinkpad :( such a shame small trackpads
how these three nutton clickpad are restore? mine were deactivated somehow!!! - T480
i still have no fucking idea, WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS DAMN THING DO? it doesnt do really anything for me!
Hello! To summarize, the Trackpoint (red cap) controls the mouse cursor and the buttons on the left and right functions as left/right clicks respectively while the middle button can be used to to scroll through documents, web site, or apps. You can do this by pressing and holding the dotted scroll bar (middle button) while applying pressure to the Trackpoint in vertical or horizontal direction.

Too bad there is NO 100x65 mm clickpads with three physical buttons!
what does the middle button do??!!
if u press this button, u cann scroll with that red dot in the middle
@@ViesAantGaan the nubbin :D
@@sesarman that thing yeah haha
this touch pad is worst touch pad i ever used
clickpad, this is the worst idea I've ever seen...and no way to turn it off? as if the trackpad wasn't bad enough
A bad decision to put those buttons back, I prefer a larger trackpad, which gives more comfort and allows me 2-finger scroll without the need to repeat the movement again and again!
You know whats another way to not repeat the same movement over and over again? Using the middle button and scrolling using the trackpoint
i find the buttonless clickpad classier to look at. But then again, old people finds it hard to adopt to innovative changes.. Basically, people are afraid to change or too lazy to learn new ways.. :) poor lenovo sacrificing innovation for the sake of people who are just too old/lazy to learn new things.
***** I've got both, I just recently got a thinkpad yoga 14. I absolutely love the clickpad without the three buttons along the top, more room to scroll, more customizability through their drivers, and overall a better look and feel.
+NthShout The buttonless clickpad is total bull to use with the trackpoint. Accidental right-clicks, annoyingly hard and loud to click, it's just been a mistake all along.
Moron. I've been using Thinkpads with the Trackpoint for over 20 years. So yeah, I"m used to it. And if this was an "innovation" you might have a point. But it is not an innovative change. There is NO improvement. (note they don't tell you why and how by giving, say, a feature/benefit explanation). I'm a writer, this is an important tool for me. But this new three button design on my X1 Carbon Yoga - is different why change it? It used to have all three buttons RAISED and you could feel it with your thumb. But now they're flat. You can't feel a differentiation between the the buttom. So I have to GLUE ON something so I can feel them out without having to take my eyes off screen. How is this an improvement? Does it look better? DUMB. I take it the people who design these things
Wow. This is probably the most useless video on the internet.
