How to middle click on a laptop touchpad

The touchpad on a laptop is a convenient way to add the functionality of a mouse without needing an extra peripheral. Most users find themselves in situations where they would like the touchpad on (e.g., no external mouse) or off (e.g., accidentally moving the mouse cursor with their palm while typing). The exact steps may differ slightly, depending on the laptop’s manufacturer, so you may need to use some intuition to achieve your desired outcome.

Steps to try first

TouchPad Button: Some laptops have a button near the top of the touchpad that allows you to quickly enable and disable the touchpad. You can toggle the touchpad off and on with that button.

TouchPad Fn keys: Some laptops have an Fn key that, in combination with one of the F1 – F12 function keys, can enable and disable the touchpad. To toggle the touchpad off and on, press both of these shortcut keys at the same time.

The icon associated with toggling the touchpad is often indicated by a rectangle with a line under it. It may also have a pointing finger or a circle near or over a rectangle.

Most laptop touchpads make it possible to perform a middle-click, but not all do. In some situations, you may need to enable this option in your mouse driver’s control panel or install the appropriate drivers first.

The Basics

To left-click on a touchpad, you click the pad with one finger. To right-click, you click the pad with two fingers. To middle-click, you click the pad with three fingers. That’s the ideal situation, anyway.

In practice, this feature is enabled by default on some touchpads, disabled by default on others, and impossible to enable on some touchpads.

And, depending on your touchpad, you may just need to tap the pad with the correct number of fingers rather than physically clicking it down.

The below instructions are for Windows. On a Mac, you can use the MiddleClick application to enable middle-click with your MacBook’s touchpad.

How to Enable Three-Finger Click

If this isn’t working, you may need to enable it. There are two main ways you can do this: There’s the touchpad driver’s custom control panel, which is often made by Synaptics. This should always be available on Windows 7, and it’s also available on Windows 10 PCs that don’t have a precision touchpad.

For Windows 7 PCs and Windows 10 PCs Without a Precision Touchpad

To find this option, head to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse. Look for a tab named something like “Touchpad” here to access your touchpad’s settings.

For example, in the screenshot below, we need to click the “ClickPad Settings” tab and then click the “ClickPad Settings” button under it.

The exact next steps here will be different on different PCs. You’ll need to find the option that controls what three-finger click does on your touchpad, ensure it’s enabled, and set it to middle-click.

For example, in the screenshot below, we first have to ensure the “Clicking” checkbox is enabled. We then need to click the gear icon to the right of Clicking to configure what different clicks do.

Here, we find the “Three-Finger Click Action” option. It needs to be set to “Middle Click” so we can perform a middle-click with three fingers.

If your touchpad has buttons and you click those instead of the touchpad itself, look for an option that controls what the buttons do. For example, you may be able to configure the touchpad to perform a middle-click when you click both the left and right mouse buttons at once.

For Windows 10 PCs with a Precision Touchpad

If you don’t see this control panel and you have Windows 10, there’s a good chance your laptop has a precision touchpad, so you have to use the built-in Windows 10 settings to enable this feature instead.

To do so, head to Settings > Devices > Touchpad. Scroll down and find the “Three-finger gestures” section. Click the “Taps” box and select “Middle mouse button”. By default, this gesture is set to open Cortana on Windows 10.

If you don’t see any additional options added by your mouse drivers in the Mouse window and you’re using Windows 7, or if you don’t see any options available in the “Touchpad” screen on Windows 10, you need to install your laptop’s mouse drivers. Head to your laptop manufacturer’s site, find the drivers for your laptop’s touchpad, and install them. You should see additional options in the Mouse control panel afterwards, and you can follow the above steps.

Help, I Can’t Enable Three-Finger Click!

If you can’t enable three-finger click in your touchpad’s settings, there’s no easy way to do it. You may be able to rig something together with AutoHotKey, but there’s a good chance it won’t be that reliable.

If you use middle-click a lot throughout Windows, you may want to consider alternative gestures. For example, middle-click is commonly used to open links in a new tab in a web browser. But you can also just hold down the Ctrl key when clicking a link to open it in a new tab. This may be much easier to do on a laptop with a touchpad.

Ultimately, if your touchpad doesn’t give you an easy way to enable middle-click or the three-finger gesture feels too uncomfortable, you may want to invest in a mouse for your laptop. There are many compact wireless mice that can travel well, and you can always get a solid wired desktop mouse if you mainly use your laptop at a desk.

With some simple configuration, you can easily add a middle click to the windows 10 touchpad. Here are the exact steps to follow.

Though the mouse middle click is largely ignored by many Windows users, it is one of the most useful buttons. This is especially true while browsing. Most people only know that the middle click is just used to scroll up and down or sideways by moving the mouse. However, do you know that you can use it to open links in a new tab and close tabs without directly pressing on the “X” icon? Now, I know these are just the two use cases but they are very helpful in day to day use.

If you are a middle-click user like me, you might be missing the middle-click functionality on Windows touchpads. Thankfully, you can configure Windows 10 to simulate the middle click on the touchpad. All you have to do is add the middle click to the touchpad as a three-finger tap.

This might sound a bit confusing but it is pretty easy to do. Just follow the steps given below to add the middle click to Windows 10 touchpad.

Steps to Add Middle-click Functionality to Touchpad in Windows 10

As long as your laptop supports the new Microsoft Precision Touchpad, you can configure the middle click on the touchpad. To put it simply, you can add the middle click as the three-finger tap. Follow the steps shown below.

1. Click on the Notifications icon.
2. Next, click on the “All Settings” button to open the Windows 10 Settings.
3. After open the Settings, click on the “Devices” option.
4. Select the “Touchpad” tab on the left panel. This is where the touchpad options are located.
5. On the right panel, scroll down till you find the “Three-finger gestures” section.
6. Next, select the “Middle mouse button” from the “Taps” dropdown menu.
   
7. Close the Settings app.

The changes are automatically saved. From now on, you can tap on the touchpad with three fingers to middle-click. Sure this is not as intuitive as the actual mouse middle click but it works just fine thanks to the precision touchpad drivers.

If three-finger tapping is not to your liking, you can configure the middle click to four-finger tapping. You can find the same dropdown menu under the “Four-finger gestures” section.

My Laptop Has No Precision Touchpad

If your laptop doesn’t have a precision touchpad, then you might have to go about this a roundabout way. In general, along with the regular touchpad drivers, most laptop manufacturers also offer a touchpad configuration app. You can configure the touchpad middle-click behavior from there. Generally, you can find these settings directly in the Mouse Settings window.

On some specific laptops, you can install precision touchpad drivers even if Microsoft doesn’t officially support it. If you cannot install the precision touchpad drivers, you have to use the program provided by the laptop manufacturer.

That is all I hope that helps. If you are stuck or need some help, comment below and I will try to help as much as possible.

The Touch pad seems like an ordinary part of your laptop but when computers were first being made small enough to carry around, this little bit of hardware was pretty important. It made it so that you didn’t have to carry a mouse around with you everywhere. Touch pad technology improved over the years to the point that Apple has a track pad for desktops. While touch pads are great they have shortcomings; you can’t play games with them, and there’s no middle click button. If you’re on Windows though, you can configure middle click on your touch pad.

Windows 10 & Precision Touch Pad

If you have a precision touch pad, and you’re using Windows 10, it’s very easy to configure middle click on your touch pad. To check if you have a precision touch pad, and to configure middle click on your touch pad, open the Settings app. Go to Devices>Touch Pad. Look at the top to see if you have a precision touch pad.

If you have a precision touch pad, you can configure middle click on your touch pad with a three finger or finger finger tap gesture. Gestures in Windows 10 are quite impressive and very customizable. Scroll down, and open the ‘Taps’ dropdown. Select ‘Middle mouse button’, and you’re done.

No Precision Touch Pad

If you don’t have a precision touch pad, or you’re not using Windows 10, you can still configure middle click on your touch pad but it’s going to be a bit more complicated. The complication lies in the fact that driver settings differ from system to system.

Open the Control Panel and go to Hardware and Sound > Mouse. The Mouse Properties window will open. Select the Device Settings tab. Select your mouse, and click the ‘Settings…’ button.

You’re likely going to have to dig around a bit in the mouse settings window. What you should be looking for is something called taps, tap zones, or tap actions. Enable them, and then look at what tap actions you can configure.

Again, not all tap actions will support the middle mouse click so go through the options available for all the taps you can configure.

The settings might have some limitations e.g. the middle click might only work in a corner of the touch pad. It’s safe to say that if you have a precision touch pad, life is easier. The above method will work on Windows 7, and 8.1.

If you don’t see the ‘Device Settings’ tab in the Mouse properties, it’s likely that you’re using generic mouse drivers that Windows installs. You need to either install or reinstall the driver for your mouse.

The middle mouse button may see less use than its left and right brothers, but it definitely has its fans. Unfortunately, a lot of laptops only come with a trackpad and two buttons for left- and right-click. This means a lot of middle-click aficionados are left in the dark when using a laptop. Is there any way to enable middle-click touchpad functionality?

Fortunately, if you’re using Windows 10, there are a few ways you can enable a middle-click for your touchpad.

If You Have a Precision Touchpad

If your laptop has a precision touchpad, you can enable middle-click functionality within Windows 10. However, there’s a good chance you don’t know if your touchpad is precision or not! If you’re interested in finding out, or you already know it’s a precision touchpad, follow these steps.

First, click the Start button. You should see, on the left, a small cog symbol. Click this to open the settings.

In the window that pops up, click Devices.

On the left side, click Touchpad.

If you have a precision touchpad, it should say “Your PC has a precision touchpad” at the top of the menu on the right:

If you see this message, this means your touchpad supports gestures. This is very helpful, as we’re going to use those gestures to create a middle-click function.

Scroll down the right screen until you see “Three-finger gestures.” You can set different swipes and gestures here, so make sure you familiarise yourself with the options available. For now, if you’re interested in the middle click touchpad functionality, find the box labelled “Taps” and change this to “Middle mouse button.”

Now you’ll be able to middle-click using the touchpad. To activate it, simply tap the touchpad with three fingers at the same time. The gestures will translate this as a middle click, so you can continue as normal!

If You Don’t Have a Precision Touchpad

Without a precision touchpad things get a little trickier. Because different makes of laptops use different touchpads and drivers, there’s a chance that your manufacturer has added some middle-click touchpad functionality; however, the method of activating this option will differ from laptop to laptop. If you want a place to start, press the Start button, type “Control Panel,” and click the entry that appears.

Click on the top-right to change the view to “Icons” view, if you haven’t already. Large or Small icons are fine. Look for a custom option that mentions your touchpad or talks about a Synaptics touchpad. If you can’t find one, you may have better luck checking the Mouse or Pen and Touch options and finding a way to set an option there. Again, look for a category or tab that mentions your touchpad and check them for any middle-click options.

Other Options

If you can’t find any options, there’s still help! Try searching for your laptop’s model online to find any documentation on how to enable middle-clicking. If that fails, you can use AutoHotKey to make your own middle-click function. We discussed AutoHotKey before, and there are ways people have managed to get middle-clicks working on their touchpad. For example, this premade script simulates a middle-click when you click a left and right mouse button together:

Some touchpads may not have a dedicated left and right button, so you might have to do some searching to find a script that works for you.

Making a Middle Mouse Button

To some, the middle mouse click is an important part of daily life, but most touchpads don’t have a middle mouse button at all. Now you know how to activate middle-click touchpad functionality in Windows 10 if you have a precision touchpad and how to work around this if you don’t.

How important is the middle mouse button to you? Let us know below!

Simon Batt is a Computer Science graduate with a passion for cybersecurity.

In almost all the large modern Linux distributions and in the last releases of Ubuntu-based distributions the touchpad was configured out of the box to have right, left and middle clicks and you could configure them easily. The middle click is usually done with a two or three-finger tap.

In Ubuntu 12.04 I haven’t seen where to enable the middle click and it is not enabled by default.

You can make it work and persist in Ubuntu 12.04, even afer suspending, following these steps.

First, create a file with your script:

(You could place the script in another directory, e.g. /usr/bin or /etc , if you wanted it to be in a more “generic” place, in case you have multiple accounts in your ubuntu installation.)

Then make it executable:

And finally, run the following command replacing “user” with your user name:

Then reboot, or logout & login, or restart GNOME.

For more information about this fix, go here.

I was searching for this and I found out that the touchpad has different settings for taps at the corners, and if you tap at the bottom right corner it does Right click. But if you tap at the top right corner it does Middle click. This is the default setting.

Another option which might be simpler and avoids startup scripts is the following.

Stop the gnome settings daemon from overriding existing settings (font: Touchpad Synaptics – ArchWiki).

Edit the X11 configuration file for the touchpad.

and add your button options under the section with the synaptics driver, like so:

To show the list of actual values:

hope it helps (it did for me!)

Download synaptiks from the Software Center.

Open it, then go to Touchpad Configuration >> Tapping.

Set your configuration there, as you would like.

You can enable it with the command synclient TapButton3=2 in the terminal, but that seems to get overridden on suspend+resume and after a reboot.

Permanent solution:

However, unity-2d (and I suppose also Unity) likes to fiddle with these settings on resume, and I have no idea how to disable that. maybe it’s utouch, I don’t really know.

The bottom line is that there is a way to configuring middle click permanently:

• add a custom startup application (under the ‘gear’ menu in unity on the top right) with any name you like, e.g. “touchpad tweak” and the command sh -c “/usr/bin/synclient TapButton3=2” , then save it.

This is well and good until you suspend and resume. for that:

Open a terminal, and type gksudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/80-synaptics-three-finger

Copy and paste the following text into the file:

Replace YOUR_USER_NAME with your login name – not the long one; e.g. use ‘fred’ instead of ‘fred fuchs’. if you don’t remember it, you can always type whoami in a terminal window and it’ll tell you.

Make it executable; simply type sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/80-synaptics-three-finger in the terminal window. it will ask for your password.

If you did all this correctly, your system should retain three finger clicking as middle click after a suspend/resume cycle.

Now that was fun and user-friendly, wasn’t it? I can only wonder why unity silently meddles with synclient settings and wonder even more why there isn’t a simple GUI tool to configure all of this. anyway, there you have it.

I tried several solutions offered here, but nothing was working on my Toshiba Satellite. The trick seems to be the distinction between a “touchpad” which is a mouse pad with buttons adjacent to it, and a “clickpad” which is a pad with no adjacent buttons: you click the pad.

This Toshiba Satellite has a clickpad, so clicking in the corner didn’t work, and I couldn’t get three-finger click to work.

Based on dllud’s answer, I found I had to edit (on kubuntu) /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf based on information at and I now have sections like so:

This sets the pad to be 40% left button, 20% middle button, 40% right button. It still takes some practice to hit the middle correctly.

Touchpad with buttons

I used to have a laptop with touchpad buttons, and to click both of them simultaneously to cause middle click emulation.

Touchpad without button

I now have a buttonless touchpad. Here is what I did:

Use the following command to learn about your touchpad size values and configuration:

Then use synclient var1=value1 var2=value2 . syntax to modify those values to suit your needs. See the example command I give belo

• ClickFinger1 , ClickFinger2 and ClickFinger3 options remap clicks when they are done with respectively one, two or three fingers left touching the touchpad.
• Value 1 corresponds to left click.
• Value 2 corresponds to middle click.
• Value 3 corresponds to right click.

Here is the command I ran and set in the Startup Applications Preferences window to configure my touchpad:

RightButtonAreaTop=0 and RightButtonAreaLeft=0 unset the “right button” causing right click (I failed to use ivan-volosyuk’s settings to have all three buttons set. I only have middle click). I use two-finger tap to produce right click. Not being able to maintain right click is not bothering enough to push me to find a solution.

MiddleButtonAreaTop=1916 and MiddleButtonAreaLeft=1617 set the “right button” to cause middle click.

ClickFinger1=0 Disables the special interpretation of the click which happen when one finger touches the surface at the moment of the click. Its previous value: ClickFinger1=1 caused my right clicks being interpreted as left click when leaving a non-clicking finger touching the touchpad.

Hack it the way you like. Maybe you’ll do better than me.

Mouse drift is a common problem on Dell laptops. The issue is characterised by the mouse cursor floating, or “drifting,” across the screen without the use touching the laptop’s mouse or trackpad. The only time this is known to happen, however, is when a USB mouse is attached the computer.

The cause of the drifting cursor is essentially a power struggle between the USB mouse and the laptop’s trackpad. To fix the error, you will need to change some settings in your computer’s BIOS.

• Mouse drift is a common problem on Dell laptops.
• The only time this is known to happen, however, is when a USB mouse is attached the computer.

Make sure your USB mouse is firmly connected to a USB port on the computer.

Save all data and exit every program.

Restart your computer.

Press F2 repeatedly as soon as the Dell logo appears on the screen. If the computer continues to boot into Windows, you did not press F2 in time. Restart your computer again, and repeatedly press F2 to enter the system BIOS.

Press the Alt and P keys on your keyboard simultaneously until you find the “Pointing Device” heading. Depending on the model number of your Latitude, this setting should be on the third or fourth page.

• Press F2 repeatedly as soon as the Dell logo appears on the screen.
• Press the Alt and P keys on your keyboard simultaneously until you find the “Pointing Device” heading.

Use your up and down arrow keys to highlight the “PS/2-Touchpad” option.

Press the right arrow key on your keyboard to change the setting from “PS/2-Touchpad” to “PS/2.”

Press the “Esc” key on your keyboard to close the BIOS.

Choose the “Save and exit” option when exiting the settings.

Reboot the computer.
