Hi, I've had a Lenovo Laptop for about a year now and suddenly the mouse is going crazy just by my hand hovering over the touchpad, I don't actually have to touch anything for it to move.
Although I don't see why the sensitivity would have changed all of a sudden I figured I would try to lower it anyway but I don't seem to have a sensitivity option.
My touchpad is Synaptics TouchPad V7.5 and when go o mouse properties> Device settings> settings… I get a list of things I can change but nothing that says sensitivity, I've tried Googling this issue but wherever I see people complain of this problem no one seems an answer as to how to fix it, but there's definitely no option to do with sensitivity on this menu. Any help?
More importantly, may my touchpad be broken? It was fine, I left the room to make a coffee and let the dogs out, I came back and this all of a sudden was happening. My laptop was quite hot, usually I balance it on my lap so it can get air and stay relatively cool but I sat it down on my bed while I left the room, could it be that the heat messed up my touchpad and I'll have to buy a mouse?
Any advice is much appreciated
