    Hi.

    Is it possible to deactivate parts of the touchpad for my 900X?

    I want to disable the bottom 2 cm so I actually can use my right/left mouse buttons ?
    Now its not accurate and jumps all around when hitting it, even with max palm tracking.

    I don't recall anyone trying to do that. All our wisdom about tweaking the pad is in this thread. There are innumerable registry entries and one might provide the result you want.

    I did exactly that with my first gen 900X. There is a setting for the touchpad called Smart Sense and you can restrict an area there:
