Jumper trackpads – problems and solutions

[Chupa]

Lots of different Jumpers and as much different trackpads.
to figure out what is in your Jumper, ask the device manager  pic 1
If this just tells you PS/2 port compatible pointing device, the the bios might give you an answer.
restart and when you see the Jumper Logo hit Esc.
in Chipset check for South Cluster Configuration pic 2
Check Miscellaneous Configuration pic 3
scroll until you find something like the lower entries pic 4
If you are lucky it will be an Elan or Alps
If you are not so lucky check APL MRD Configuration pic 5
you might have a Sliead Touch Device as do I in my Jumper 3S.

Here is what I do to tame my simple mouse driver touchpad:
– in pointers I always choose Magnified (system scheme)
– in pointer options the pointer speed gets set towards fast and Enhance Pointer Precision is checked. Click Apply and move your finger fast across the pad. Half a pad should move your pointer from left to right completely. If not or it is to fast, play with the slider setting to suit you needs. The enhanced part also slows down the speed if you move slower.
-in  wheel set both to 1 ( this is for the 2 finger scrolling).

This should get you started, if you find a driver what works with your Jumper’s trackpad, tell us here. Mention your model and how you found out what trackpad you have and where you foud the best driver (do not forget the link).

there is also this: https://techtablets.com/forum/topic/touchpad-improvements-for-ezbook-3-pro/ thread,  but there are many more models of the Jumper than just the EZBook 3 pro.

A reason the mouse cursor jumps when you do a right or left click is: you are not at the exact bottom corner of the pad. If you ar just in the lower area and do a real click, chances are, while you click the finger moves a bit and so does the cursor. Being in the absolute corner with the fingertip solves this problem.

I can’t see any of the options in my jumper pic for my touchpad. The pc I have is jumper i7s. I can’t even get the scroll to work on my trackpad, any suggestions?

then you might have a locked bios and can not use this option.

Just try the windows setting – devices – touchpad option

1. Thanks, although I can see the bios, but don’t see the options available. Also, my device is PS/2 port, but I don’t have a touchpad option. What other option could there be, especially as I can’t even scroll with the trackpad. The only think the trackpad does is operate the mouse and had a rocker for left and right mouse clicks. Thanks.
