So the GPU on my Razer Blade GTX 1060 died recently. I sent it into the third party warranty company, and they couldn't fix it, so they paid me back the value with a giant Amazon gift card. Wahoo, new laptop time!
I loved my last Razer Blade, especially the touchpad and keyboard (I actually use the touchpad for almost all my games). So I figured I would give Razer another go and got a Razer Blade RTX 2070.
It just arrived today, and unfortunately the touchpad is...less than stellar. They got rid of the individual left/right buttons and turned it into one giant pad (Mac style). Additionally, it seems like they're no longer using Synaptics drivers and are instead going with a new Microsoft-made "Precision" driver. The two major issues I've been having are:
1. If I put down both my index finger (on the top part of the pad) and my thumb (on the bottom "button" part of the pad) at about the same time, the pointer won't move or respond when I first move my index finger (wiggling it around usually makes the pointer start moving, but that obviously isn't optimal).
2. There's no way to disable two-finger tap-to-right-click. And the two finger range is pretty darn large, resulting in random right clicks during normal use.
So my questions here:
1. Has anyone troubleshot these sorts of touchpad issues before? Is there a registry value I can tweak to fix some of the weird behavior? Is it possible to get a different driver (say, a Synaptics one) to work with my touchpad?
2. Are there any gaming laptops with separate left/right click buttons, good touchpads, and comparable specs to this Razer Blade 2070? They don't have to be the exact same specs, but ideally I'd like something that's a measurable upgrade over my 1060.
