If you’re unfortunate enough to have bought, or be buying, an MSI Wind after they’ve changed the touchpad from Synaptics to Sentilic, the MSI Wind forums have a solution. The Sentilic touchpad, is generally viewed as inferior to that of the Synaptics as it has less functionality and less support.

dxmiller from the MSI Wind forums though, has found a solution to this problem, and the best bit, it will only cost you $12. It’s possible to purchase a Synaptics touchpad from Asus for $8 plus shipping and replace the Sentilic one. All it requires is a little wiggling to swap the touchpads over. Some solvents might be needed to remove the pad though, but apart from that, the connections and dimensions are the same.
