The glidepad (if that's what it's called) on my Samsung Q310 laptop is good enough that I haven't felt the need to upgrade it. Its predecessor, an IBM T22, had one of those "rubber topped matchsticks," which are pretty awful, so I used a version of your solution and added a Logitek trackball. Very nice gadget, and I won't be getting rid of it, in case of need.

Carol Haynes:
Neatmouse has a config pane so you can assign any keys to the mouse function.
Curt:
Thanks again, Carol. Neatmouse is really... ehh, well, neat! And NEW! Their forum's admin has made merely four posts! I have already made a feature request, of course, asking for the special laptop button "Fn" to be added as a "alt. modifier". The good thing about so brand new programs is that suggestions are still likely to be taken seriously! haha.

I better keep the link here, so I can find it when my own PC has been fixed.

YEs it looks useful - handy on desktops too if you are messing with USB drivers and there is a danger the mouse will be killed.
