MSI Wind Touchpad Mod

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.
