    Hell o,
    So for quite awhile now, I have been experiencing severe frustration with the ASUS N56VJ-DH71 touchpad. To not ramble on and on about its problems, it's just the worst.. Or maybe better described as a joke. (I have modified the Asus Smart Gesture program to not allow it's manufacturer (bipolar) settings. I have also called em' (ASUS support) and they've said this model has no other replaceable variants for its touchpad. So back to the topic of this post, Does anyone know a guy or website or business that can mod a laptops touchpad with a completely seperate model touchpad? I love the way Mac books touchpads work. That would be my ideal mod. Am I just dreamer? Does this mod exist?
    Any advice is great!

    I have the exact same laptop at work. To be honest I don't care much about the touchpad as I use a mouse but then again it's not the worst I have seen on a laptop....

    Regarding customizations, if you mean by that full replacement of the touchpad, then I am fairly certain this isn't possible. As for functionality you could try some of the suggestions on this link:

    Hope that helps
