![]() As the result of the loose part your cursor line will wobble a little bit while you move - resulting in a horrible inaccuracy. ![]() Ensure the Turn on ClickLock option is unchecked here. (don't put glue in the line of the laser!) I've had this with the G502, G500s and even the very durable MX518. On both Windows 10 and 7, head to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse. And good luck to all with the repairs!Īlso a hint: The transparent plastic over the laser is not very firm attached - I would suggest to fix it with for example hot glue. Sorry for the bad language as I'm no native English speaker. You have to do this carefully and I was missing any instructions for that. I had to disassemble all the top parts to clean them. While you do this make sure there is no dirt under the buttons. There are 5 Omron D2FC-F-7N build in, so what I do is to change the G9 switch to the left mouse button, as I rarely use it. For me my left button is word out and need the replacement while the other keys are still good. So the best way to fix this is to replace the switch like said/linked.Ī cheaper way is to switch the switches. Seems like the issue (as noted above) must be something to do with software understanding of the "holding down" of the right-click.Īlso does anyone know if maybe this has been solved in either of the commercial VM programs (Parallels or VMware)? Rather than using the free VirtualBox, I'd be willing to buy something to get this functionality working correctly on Windows the way I want it to work.This is a very common problem with the G502 and the plastic part hitting the switch is constructed in a way that it blocks the movement before hitting the switch too deep. ![]() I've looked at a couple apps so far (Better Touch Tool, etc) but nothing yet seems to work. I'd be happy even if some alternative "gesture" could be defined for this, on the Mac's TrackPad. So it shouldn't really be impossible, it just needs the software to better understand what's being done with the TrackPad! Any clicking automatically finishes when you click, it doesn't appear to support HOLDING DOWN the click, so you cannot DRAG before letting the right-click back UP again.Īgain, this all DOES apparently work fine IF you have an external, two-button mouse connected. I've already enabled lower-right TrackPad corner click as right-click, but it doesn't work for this right-click-dragging. My goal is to have both OS running side by side (not via Boot Camp, I want the Win setup to be virtualized and keep it a finger flick away, on it's own Spaces desktop) so that I can keep using all my old Win software while moving into the Mac world in the future. (Shouldn't Windows running on Mac still work in a "Windows-Like" way, IF Apple's goal is to really fully support running Windows on Apple hardware?) ![]() I realize it's not "Mac Like" to do this, but I don't want it for OSX, I only want it to work for WINDOWS. I'd have thought this would have been fixed already AGES ago, what with Apple's otherwise stellar support of Windows on Mac hardware. Moving to a MacBook (with Windows running in emulation, via VirtualBox) has a lot of great benefits for me, BUT having to give up right-dragging is kind of almost turning into a total deal-breaker for this effort, to move to a MacBook.Īlso I know I could just plug in a mouse, but really would prefer to get this working with the great Apple TrackPad IF at all possible!! The trackpad is an amazing piece of tech and I cannot believe that I'm really the first person to notice this HUGE oversight of the missing right-drag functionality. This function, right-click dragging, is actually quite useful and a real time-saver that my fingers muscle-memory is pretty much coded to do A LOT, while I'm working in several different software products under Windows. Note I'm asking for right-dragging NOT "right clicking" - this is where, under Windows, you click the right mouse button while pointing at something, HOLD DOWN the right mouse button and DRAG the object somewhere, THEN let the right mouse button go, and usually a menu pops up at that point, to allow you to choose what you want to do with the thing you're dragging (a file or icon or whatever). Is there ANY way - either from Apple or via third party utility software - to enable the built-in TrackPad on a MacBook Pro laptop to do a real "right-click drag" function?
