I'm 6'5" and 20 stone - there is not enough room on my right for a proper mouse! Or a better laptop - the screen rests beautifully on the steering wheel with the seat as far back as it will go.No - trackpad on old hps not good - some sensitive from about 3" away, keybd 1/2 inch away from trackpad! I have four - only one has a usable trackpad. Imagine I've got it on my lap in the car! there seem to be some finger mounted things but they have 1.5m of cable and I cant see the finger mounting working in typing situations. Though I am wondering if I can 3d print something onto a bulldog clip!Sorry, I was being facetious as usual! Well, for when you really, really _have_ to use a laptop with a crappy or broken touchpad in the car (which is actually something that happens for me a lot) the simplest solution is a flat bit of plywood the right
I've tried adjusting it and its 3" or ssh in to put the old config back! I wish I could remember the old keyboard mouse controls!size and shape? About as deep as a laptop footprint and as many extra cm wide to give you just enough room for either one of those teeny tiny usb/wireless mice or a trackball I guess? You could even velcro a trackball down. I've got a bit of plywood here that I use for just that but around the house - measuring it, it's 37x29cm. That's comfortable for any size laptops but presuming yours is a 15" you'd want it to be a bit wider than that to have enough space on the side. Maybe 50cm? Dunno how big your car is but it might even slide under the front seats. And yeah, older HP trackpads do often suck a lot to be fair. Does yours really activate from 3" though? Holy crap!
