Hi,
I encounter the following issues with my Thinkpad T430s:
- sometimes the mouse pointer starts moving on its on, always towards the same direction and always at the same speed. Rebooting temporarily resolves the issue until it occurs again. Reducing the sensitivity in the driver software does not have any impact. Pressing the trackpoint and letting go does nothing to stop it.
- the left mouse button acts like a weird combination of a left click + some function that brings up context menus, if available (e.g. on desktop). This happens using the trackpoint, touchpad and sometimes even when using an external mouse.
- Right mouse button does not function at all. No matter what function is assigned to it in the driver software, it does not work. External mouse works.
- trackpoint and touchpad freeze at the same time, this seems to be random. Only a reboot unfreezes them.
All this ONLY happens if the trackpoint is enabled in BIOS.
If I disabled the trackpoint in the BIOS, touchpad and all mouse buttons work fine.
I tried Windows 10 and Windows 7 (fresh installs). The problems occur under both operating systems using different driver software.
Therefore, I do believe this to be a hardware issue. Anyone has experienced this issues and knows a good way to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

T430s trackpoint issue
Re: T430s trackpoint issue
I have very similar problems with the same model but only when I have a wireless mouse dongle plugged in (even without the mouse itself).
I haven't got to the bottom of it yet.

Re: T430s trackpoint issue
ThankPad, have you tried other dongles?
Are both, touchpad and trackpad enabled in BIOS?

Re: T430s trackpoint issue
Hey, I have 2 that I use mainly. Both touchpad and trackpad are enabled, yes.
I haven't pinpointed what exactly is causing the problem, but it never happens when I remove the dongles. It's a qwerky on indeed.
