The 5300 trackpad is indeed tappable, but you need a shareware app called ClickPad II to make it work that way.
A bit hard to find these days, but it's out there.
Well, by definition, all trackpads _are_ tappable (otherwise they wouldn't work!). ;-)
ClickPad II works by recognizing quick changes in capacitance and interprets that as a "click". Sometimes it interprets correctly, sometimes it does not. At least for me. I know that you are very satisfied with it, though, so I'd love to see what you do differently than me!
Different skin chemistry, most likely. I seem to have a lot fewer problems with tappable pads than most people. I also seem to have a lot fewer problems with trackpads than most people. Virtually everyone here with a laptop drags around a mouse, and are quite amazed when I don't want to use them, preferring the trackpad instead.
Do you have Trackpad Climate Control installed?
Don't remember. The 5300's at home, I'll check the next time I fire it up.
