Advanced Features in a Modded Version Driver

1. Touch Sensitivity
   The Touch Sensitivity feature allows users to get the best performance from a TouchPad. Users can personalize the touch sensitivity settings for their finger size and style of touch.
2. Tapping
   Tapping on the TouchPad surface is usually quicker and more convenient than using a mouse or mechanical buttons, and gives the same result as clicking the primary mouse button. Tapping twice in rapid succession produces a double-click.
3. Tap Zones
   The Tap Zone feature allows users to configure each of the four corners of the TouchPad surface to act as different buttons when tapped. Users can configure the Tap Zones to perform an action, such as launching an application. Users can also adjust the size of each Tap Zone.
4. Virtual Scrolling
   The Virtual Scrolling feature allows users to scroll through documents, web pages, and so forth with a single stroke of the finger.
5. Corner Taps and Programmable Tap Zones
   Corner taps and programmable tap zones allow users to assign button controls or other functions to an area on the TouchPad surface.
6. HandCheck
   The HandCheck feature guards against unintentional cursor movement and tapping caused by accidental contact of the palm or hand with the TouchPad. HandCheck allows the TouchPad to recognize when a user’s palm is resting on it or brushing its surface while typing. This helps prevent unwanted pointer movement or clicks.
7. EdgeMotion
   The EdgeMotion feature is designed to simplify long-distance pointer motions. With EdgeMotion, users are not restricted by the size of the TouchPad when dragging an item across the screen or pointing.
8. Programmable Button Assignments
   The Programmable Button Assignment feature allows users to configure the action performed when a button is pressed.
9. Virtual Zooming
   The Virtual Zooming feature makes increasing or decreasing the magnification of a document quick and easy. By holding down the control key and running a finger along the right edge of the TouchPad will zoom in or out, depending on the direction of motion.
10. Slow Motion
    The Slow Motion feature allows users to reduce the speed of the pointer to improve pointing accuracy for fine positioning. Users activate Slow Motion by pressing and holding a specified key (user-selected) while moving the pointer.
11. Constrained Motion
    The Constrained Motion feature allows users to force purely horizontal or vertical motion of the pointer on the
