Two button middle click on a Lenovo T400 T500

I recently got a Lenovo T400 laptop at work. It’s a pretty nice laptop – good build quality, aesthetically pleasing, and not too heavy. My only two complaints are the placement of the FN and CTRL keys (they should be swapped) and the lack of a two button middle click on the touchpad. To solve the former would require a BIOS hack or a hardware mod, but I managed to solve the latter in software. In particular, I uninstalled the supplied UltraNav drivers and tried out the Synaptics driver from my old Dell XPS M1210. Worked like a glove. Fit like a charm.

  1. Hey, my ideapad came with the Synaptics 12.0.4 driver and I still can’t create a middle click button when I click both.

    How’d you do it?

  2. This worked like a champ on my Lenovo S12. Thanks for the tip!
