One of the most common upgrades for any Haswell (xx40) series ThinkPad is to replace the awful button-less touchpad (sometimes referred to as the ClunkPad) with a T450 touchpad that has the proper buttons for TrackPoint users. However, getting the buttons to work properly on xx40 hardware can be tricky - particularly if you are running Windows 10. In this video you will see how to get drivers installed that will allow you to use the TrackPoint as if this were a T450! As always thanks for watching!
