Dear Synaptics

Suggestion: Trapezoidal Areas for Laptop Touch Pads

The benefit of this modification: Superior User Experience 

Eliminate accidental touches in the upper corners on each side of the pad by the palms of the hand closest to the thumb by reducing the sensitive areas at the top of the touch pad. Use a trapezoidal shape with the short side located nearest the keyboard.

The corners eliminated by the new shape have led to limitless frustration while typing. Even though the 'disable while typing' setting is activated, I regularly end up with relocated text -- or worse, no text at all -- after accidentally clicking the focus to a new, random area of the screen.

Barring a re-design, perhaps some stylish, vinyl-cling overlays with major NCAA or pro-league affinity designs could be offered.

Thanks,
CWR
