Is there anyway to adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad. It is driving me crazy.

do you mean you keep touching it by accident whe typing ? if im typing lots i disable it (using the keyboard button above 3)....
This might be possible through the kernel driver..
Has anyone looked into it?
I think he means how much the mouse moves when you move your finger. I find it a tad too sensitive for my taste

i wasnt sure if thats what he meant but i thought id rule out the obvious first
personally i find the touchpad speed spot on.
Little bump on his thread.
Imo, It's the acceleration that needs to be set to 0.
The TF ain't no laptop. If you insist on using the touchpad instead of the touchscreen, then go out and get yourself a nice laptop.
Why do people buy a tablet and then insisting on using it like a laptop? I don't get this.
Sometimes it can be convieniant to use the touch pad instead. For example to multitask between apps: typing into one, tap through to an IM via notification, then hit HOME on the keyboard and already have the touch pad cursor lined up over the icon for the app you were originally in.
I personally find it to be the best touch pad I've used, but then again I am weird and kind of like touch pads more than mice for non-gaming tasks.

For those people who complain about the touchpad, I give you 2 options to solve this huge life and death problem.
(1) Get an ipad.
(2) Get a screw driver and a pair of pliers and yank out the touchpad.

Gee what a helpful response... I can't believe the guy - like myself - had the nerve to think that the collective genius (and I'm being sincere there) of XDA could - or perhaps already did - come up with a way of decreasing the sensitivity of the track pad. Oh - the nerve of us for asking a question.
Seriously - responses like yours are patently unnecessary.

The dock is very solid...it seems well built, and if the latest firmware fixes my unresponsive dock issues....I'm a happy camper....
I just wanted to ask...do you think that the keys take a little bit more pressure than normal to make a consistent input? when I type, I'm missing letters because I'm used to typing on a keyboard that has light keys.

Absolutely. I work on a Thinkpad T510 every day (T60 prior to that) and my Transformer's keyboard requires a heck of a lot more pressure to make a key stroke.
For me its quite the opposite the keys are very easy to hit and type with.

Nope. Very soft to push.

I think you need to give your fingers a workout
They're pretty normal to me here, at least when comparing to my Logitech G510 gaming keyboard and the M11x keyboard.
The only thing is that my SPACEBAR seems a bit louder than the other keys when pressing. Probably due to its shape and suspension in comparison to the other smaller ones.
For some reason, when I hit the delete key - it deletes two characters most of the time instead of 1. Anybody else running into the same problem?
My dock types ultra smoothly. U must have a defect

Hi guys
After the 3.2 update i have very strange mouse pointer
Can I change this?
Thanks
yes the circle pointer lol nobody has made a mod to change it back as of yet.
i think if you use a BT/USB mouse it goes back to the normal pointer...
why they thought a circle was better is beyond me.
i really don't understand what are they thinking about
No offense to the OP, but IMO people need to search more before posting new topics. This is roughly the 23rd thread on the crappy new circular pointer. If for no other reason besides ease of reviewing information, consolidating your comments within an existing thread on the topic is beneficial to everyone.
The circle lets you see how the touchpad is detecting inputs when you're doing gestures. Other than that, it seems pretty useless. Just some fancy fx thing.

Because it also shows your trackpad gestures, I really like it, and can definately see a benefit with it over a regular pointer.
MAKES THIS THING USELESS FOR RDP/VNC!!!!
Man, Asus has been good about stuff, but this is the worst idea ever.
The new pointer is just awful. I was hoping to see a fix for it already
Circle pointer is more intuitive than the original pointer, when used for gestures, scrolling, clicking etc. It simulates ones actions on the screen, on the trackpad. It ofcourse changes to the normal pointer when using external mouse. I have been quite impressed with its usefulness but then horses for courses. Just use it for a while, and your horizons may broaden

I really hope don't make a rash change to the new pointer (which I like), based off a few people that "don't get it"...
For those of us that "do get it", seeing the gestures is invaluable.
Rather than "rash changes", why not give us the option to change it back?
Hide it in the Settings page if you want, but I thought Android was supposed to be about choice and customisation, not just "Do things our way and like it".
If that was the attitude I was interested in, I'd have sold my soul to the iCult of Jobs by now.
All that posturing aside, I had about 3 minutes with the new cursor before RMAing my dock, so I haven't had a lot of time to see if it gets better with use.

Choice an customisation is all there, where would you like me to start, but then a line has to be drawn somewhere wouldn't you say? It's not like iphone/ipad where one is only allowed to change the icon position on a screen, is it now?
Regards your RMAing the dock after 3 minutes; not enough time. Should have given it atleast 5 minutes

I can see the usefulness, but have you it makes scrolling in the browser jerky and annoying, as if you don't move your fingers perfectly straight, it zooms in and out. It also is incredibly non-precise when doing anything in an RDP/VNC app.
I'm all for giving a one button click in the settings that will give me my old one back. Just because it has a few benefits (gestures) that some of you like, does not mean that it is great for everyone.
Well for some of you who don't like it they would either have to use external mouse or play with it, hoping that Icecream Sandwich/Asus FW would grant them their extra setting. For the time being though they are lumbered with it. Simples tch tch

iIts complete rubbish why have a mouse pad that dose the same as touching the screen? why not just use the screen i wanted the dock to act like a laptop its way to big to click anything precisely. stupid scrolling switched around its just pure gay if u ask me hope someone comes out with a hack

I've found myself using the screen a LOT more since the 3.2 update. Trying to use the trackpad is rather batty IMHO.
At least put crosshairs in the circle.
I think it's a lot better, much to my surprise. Aside from the vertical scrolling that is very counter intuitive with a trackpad, it has several awesome advantages... the pointer stays in place when scrolling, the scrolling actually WORKS (try it on 3.1 with Tapatalk, then agree with me), it dosen't lack precision as after all, it's in the center of the circle that the click will originate. Pinch to zoom is cool and I rarely get it instead of scrolling.
All in all I like it, and I also agree that this sort of things needs a setting to be restored as it's unavoidable to piss off many users.

^^ I agree, the circle is fine. I actually liked it a lot. Just wish the circle is a bit smaller, that's all.
So I tried using the keyboard dock with the touchpad enabled for a couple weeks and found its position is just terrible. You try and type and the whole while you're trying to keep your hands off the touchpad and end up making mouse clicks you never wanted to have made.
So I diabled the touchpad and have never found a need for using it again given the device has a touchscreen.
I just wonder if anyone has been able to keep their touchpad enabled and finds it useful, or is everyone like me and disabled it?
Given the size of the keyboard dock, I'm not sure if there is a "good" place for it. I guess it's a nice option for those who feel the need for it. I'm just not person.

So, what do you expect? Adding digitizer so it can detect your palm?
Come on, at this size, it is inevitable to accidentally touch the touchpad when typing.
I wil disable the touchpad on my 14inch Hp laptop too
The keyboard dock and touchpad is a beast when you use Slashtop
right click work very well
just like using a laptop!
I usually disable the touchpad too. On my Thinkpad I use the TrackPoint only, and if there is a desk in sight I strongly prefer a real mouse. It's amazing how much better even the TF700 gets if you connect a mouse.
I normally keep my trackpad disabled as well - only enable when I'm doing certain things that don't require typing...
What Asus *really* needs to do is to give us an option to disable the "tap to click" function and then the trackpad would actually be useful without interfering!!

For the most part I keep it disabled. Sometimes when I'm really lazy and I don't want to reach that extra distance to the touchscreen I'll use it.

That's a great idea, I might actually use the touchpad more if it had that feature!
Nope, I've gotten used to keeping palms away from touchpads on ASUS' netbooks. I do OK with dock keyboard+touchpad, but I prefer to use a real mouse if there's space.
I think that I use more the touchpad than the touchscreen

I expect to be happy. Some others have already offered suggestions.
I also have an HP laptop, 15.6". I never had to disable that touchpad and the on pad enable/disable feature is nice. But I never usually disable it.
I use Splashtop too on my TF700T.

I tried to keep the palms away. It just didn't work out for me .
I guess it all depends on the palm size and such.

Palms are not a problem for me. Thumbs are.
I use the touchpad when I'm watching a film. Don't want to have to keep cleaning the screen every few minutes.... Otherwise, it's mainly off.
On my main laptop (Which is an Asus, too (n70sv)), I have the touchpad set to automatically disable when it detects an external mouse. (which is pretty much always).
Lately, I've been getting more and more into photography as well as photoshop editing. Since I bought my Galaxy Note 2, my tablet hasn't seen the light of day. It literally sits on my entertainment center collecting dust. Right now, I'm in the market for a wacom tablet. I know there isn't pressure sensitivity, but would it be possible to connect the tf101 to my PC and make it act as the wacom tablet?
You might, but it wouldn't really be a wacom tablet because that requires a special touch sensitive pen. If I see anything related to this I will know where to post though!
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app
Due to the lack of pressure sensitivity, it would be kind of worthless - you could just use a mouse to accomplish the same thing without a massive pointless battery drain.
Something like this might work : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamviewer.teamviewer.market.mobile&hl=en . Or this : http://www.talkandroid.com/guides/misc/using-your-android-device-as-a-wireless-keyboardmouse/ .
But it's going to like trying to paint or draw with a brick. Even the tablets/pens that have pressure sensitivity are nowhere near even the cheap Wacom/other tablets.
Not trying to shoot you down, just say that if you're serious about art/photo manipulation, this just won't cut it - it's more of a gimmick.
ahhhhh....I ended up buying the wacom tablet!! =)

I kinda figured, but just the thought of a nice tablet as a paper weight got to me. Oh well, back to the shelf for the TF101/
Does anybody know if it is possible to enable opposite scrolling on the T700 Dock mousepad similar to that on macbook trackpads? The current scrolling is too awkward with me, especially with multitouch gestures.
Opposite scrolling? Meaning you scroll up and the screen goes down? That sounds illogical and unnatural... Rather like pushing up on the lift when you want to go to the basement...
I have no idea if it can be done.

Yep pretty much. If you have tried it on a macbook, it isn't as odd as it sounds and once you start using it, it seems much more natural.

I've tried a macbook. Nothing about that thing felt natural. (As a designer I am often illfated to using a Mac... I hate being forced to do things one specific pre-chosen-by-someone-else way and be left with no free will of my own. Creativity is doing things outside the box, a Mac is a 50meter-solid-walled concrete cell.)
I have tried it, I'm a gamer, the one thing I hate almost as much as online DRM is an inversed Y-axis.
