Info

If the Show input settings tray icon on desktop option is enabled under User Interface > Desktop > Taskbar Items, and a touchpad is detected, you can use the Mouse & Touchpad tray app to quickly configure the following touchpad settings:

  • Primary Button
    Sets the primary button both for mouse and touchpad. In IGEL Setup, you can configure this through Left-handed mode under User Interface > Input > Mouse.

  • Pointer Speed
    Sets the speed of the pointer both for mouse and touchpad. In IGEL Setup, you can configure this through Pointer speed under User Interface > Input > Mouse.

  • Enabled
    The toggle buttons enables/disables the touchpad.

  • Touchpad Sensitivity
    Sets how sensitive the touchpad is to the touch. In IGEL Setup, you can configure this through Min speed, Max speed, and Acceleration. If you have those values custom configured, it is advised not to change the slider in the tray app, as it will reset the levels in the IGEL Setup.

  • Scrolling Direction 
    Sets the direction of the screen movement when scrolling with the touchpad. In IGEL Setup, you can configure this through Natural scroll.

  • Scrolling Method
    Sets the type of finer movement to be detected as scrolling. 
    In IGEL Setup, you can configure this through Two finger vertical scroll and Two finger horizontal scroll under User Interface > Input > Touchpad > Scrolling.

  • Tap to Click
    The toggle switch enables/disables clicking with a tap on the touchpad. In IGEL Setup, you can configure this through Tapping mode.

  • Palm Detection

    The toggle switch enables/disables palm detection. When enabled, it avoids triggering a function accidentally with the palm of your hand. The function must be supported by the device. In IGEL Setup, you can configure this through Palm detect under User Interface > Input > Touchpad > Advanced.
