Laptop callous troubles!

[tegnoto89]

Does anybody else find that their callouses make it so that when they go to click their touchpad on a laptop, it won't click?

It also makes a different sound when I use my left hand to click the touchpad. I just found this amusing, I'm a former guitarist so my callouses were never that bad before.

the touch wheel on my new ipod nano has lots of trouble with my calluses

Nope, even with heavy calloused hands.. it always worked. Sorry.

I had that issue with my old Toshiba satellite, but my new Lenovo laptop is fine. I think it's down to a really cheap touchpad.

Occasionally, yeah. My touchscreen phone does not like my calloused fingers at all. Thankfully the part of my thumb which I use for it most often isn't the calloused part.

From the subject line, I was afraid that you had debilatating callouses on your lap, maybe from playing sitting down. Glad this is all it is. Yeah, I have a little trouble with touchscreens and clickwheels.

I actually use lenovo - a T61. Though I'm trying to correct my left hand technique, and I feel like my fingers might soften a little once I start using it consistently.
