Hey /g/,
> I have a CarbonX1 ThinkPad
> By default middle button acts as a scroll which is useless to me
> I've spent the past 30mins trying to change it to act as a third click
< Anyone know how?
TL;DR: How do I change the middle button to third Click?
click on it -> third click
press and hold -> scroll
If you want to change that, xinput

It doesn't work as a third click, if it did it should be able to close chrome tabs.etc
Yeah, don't buy fucking trash lenovo
>>52395925
You're right, let me just sell my laptop and buy a mac

Install Gentoo, by which I mean Linux handles it as mouse button 2 as it should.
>but I get cucked by Microsoft and NSA voluntarily
OK, open regedit. HKEY CURRENT USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTPEnh\UltraNavPS2
"TrackPointMode" -> dword:00002214 (Should be 1214 originally.)
Then reboot. It's recommended you now delete C:\Windows\System32, reboot again and install Gentoo.

Thank bro, it worked, I'll proceed to delete C as instructed

enjoy your broken chicklets faggot
Dude! What version do you have? The 1440p one? I'm considering buying one to go along with my chromebook pixel 2015

Also, as much as I'm going to get flamed, the fucking screen/keyboard/track pad are amazing. I mean, fuck. I charge it once every 3-4 days.
>>52396393
Yeah I have the 3rd gen 2015 max specs, its fucking great. The screen is beautiful btw, just make sure to remove the shitty anti glare. The only thing that's meh are the speakers. Don't listen to the cheap shills on /g/, if I were you I'd look at the new Yoga X1 they showed off at CES, it has an OLED screen. Otherwise buy this or wait for the next Carbon X1
>>52395811
have you tried going into the mouse options...?
>>52396526
No shit Shill, the gooks at Lenovo removed that option. You have to edit the reggit now
>>52396535
Sadly this. Winblows 10 removed the option. If you dl the drivers for the touch pad and take a look at the settings for the driver after you install it you'll see an option to enable an action other than scrolling but it no longer works. Kinda sucks.
