Alienware 13 R2 TouchPad
I'm having a hard time using the touchpad. I have three other Dell laptops and the touch pads have separate keys for left click and right click. The 13R2 has a solid seeming pad with integrated right and left keys at the bottom. Seems I have to bang on the keys or just barely touch them and it's hard gettng used to. I like to use right key to open links in new tabs in Chrome and that's proving difficult. I'd replace this with a more traditional separate key structure if possible, but I doubt it is. are there any instructions on this touch pad that might help me see what I'm doing wrong? I've taken to using a mouse which isn't always possible and I find I can't turn the touch pad on and off using the F11 key... I have to go through the control panel and disable the touch pad I've had this laptop about three weeks and am unhappy with the touch pad...

Have you found anything to help with the clicking? I received my 13 R2 about a week ago and have to say the mouse clicks are horrible. I turned off the single click on the touchpad. I have to click many times to actually hope that it responds. This makes basic things like web browsing very frustrating. I found it isn't consistent on where you click on the left side for it to actually register. I don't want to have to get a external mouse just to do basic email checking or web browsing, but it looks like I am going to have to do something.

Hi,
There are some options that you can adjust with the touchpad. Type Mouse and touchpad settings on the search box and open it. It should look like the screenshot below, as you can see there are several options that you can adjust that may make it easier for you to use the touchpad.
