This tutorial will show you how to change the right click region/zone size on a Precision Haptic Touchpad for your account in Windows 11.
Starting with Windows 11 build 26220.8138 (Beta 25H2), build 26300.8142 (Dev 25H2), build 28020.1812 (Canary 26H1), build 29570.1000 (Canary), build 26100.8728 (RP 24H2), and build 26200.8728 (RP 25H2), Microsoft is adding a new setting in Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Touchpad so you can choose how large the right-click zone size is (this is the portion in the bottom-right of your touchpad where pressing a single finger will result in a right-click), between default, small, medium, and large. Note – this setting only appears for touchpads that have a pressable surface for this. Some manufacturers may provide customization for this in their own apps – if you’ve customized your setting using an app like this, a Custom entry will be added to the dropdown, which preserves that value.
You can configure the size of the right click region on your touchpad to large, medium, or small.
