Emulate Middle Mouse Button on Windows 7 with Synaptics Touchpad Drivers
Writing by shivdev on Saturday, 13 of September , 2014 at 6:30 pm
Even after installing multiple version of the Synaptics Touchpad Drivers I wasn’t able to emulate the Middle Mouse Button by pressing Left/Right Buttons on my HP Laptop’s Touchpad and finally after some searching on the web I found a solution from sinairv. Note: You will have to mess with “regedit”.
# Open up regedit for changes to Windows Registry
Step 1: Start –> Run –> regedit# Look for where you need to make the changes
Step 2: Edit –> Find –> 2FingerTapAction# For me the path was
# HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\TouchpadPS2_2
Step 3: Notice that there are several Mouse actions# Create a new entry to add
Step 4: Right Click –> New –> DWORD# New value HasBothButtonFeature = 1
Step 5: Enter HasBothButtonFeature with value 1# Let changes take effect
Step 6: Log off and Log in# Test emulation of middle click
Step 7: Open a browser and a new tab and press both buttons to close the tab
That should make your browsing experience a bit faster now.
