I doubt that would help. The mousepad can operate in two different modes, in the basic mode you get built-in tapping, but only two buttons, in the other mode you get more information (e.g. all buttons), but have to figure out the tap action yourself from the pressure delta over time. The behavior is documented by the manufacturer (synaptics.com.tw), who actually provides specs on-line (whee!). $.02, /Mikko (who likes using all buttons and have learned to live without tapping...)
