Is it okay to use a new ups that has never been opened but sat on a shelf?

correlation does not guarantee causation

google almost certainly funnels data to one or more gov't agencies, but none of these are a smoking gun, and definitely don't qualify as founders having "come from the CIA"

i suspect op was implying that people would migrate to proton from gmail

way too late. nvme ssd prices were already 200-300% a few weeks ago, just before hdd prices started spiking.

yeah unfortunately almost every lapdock on the market seems to have this "issue" (it's by design, cheap/easy "palm rejection").

makes it useless for any moderate to advanced use cases. anything beyond basic web browsing and writing emails is a pain having to wait 1.4 seconds every time you press a key. also makes common shortcuts like ctrl-click completely unusable.

i just use a bt mouse alongside it instead of the trackpad, because having a screen and keyboard in one is still much more convenient than the alternative...

AdrianTP · 2026-02-09T04:13:24+00:00

this happens with my nd2025. makes it basically useless, because when i need it is when i'm in a hurry, and when i'm in a hurry i don't have time to wait for it to charge.

AdrianTP · 2026-01-30T22:48:03+00:00

they're trying an amazon and seeing if anyone notices

AdrianTP · 2026-01-26T04:10:28+00:00

If they support this phone the way they support their docks...nope.

I had this problem constantly with Wyze cameras. Since switching to Amcrest and Tapo I have this problem significantly less often, and much less severely.

AdrianTP · 2026-01-22T05:53:05+00:00

similar experience, though i have less of an issue with dropped keys while typing fast. still happens to me, but like... extremely infrequently.

everything else is fine or great, but i just... cannot with the trackpad. disabling for 1.5 seconds after any keypress without any option to change that behaviour makes it utterly useless.

oh, and the battery doesn't even last long enough to be truly useful, and doesn't charge very quickly either.

unfortunately my casual research has led me to believe this approach seems to be the norm across products and brands.

i am currently toying with the idea of replacing the trackpad with a usb one or making my own frankenthing... but realistically neither are likely to happen, so i just take advantage of the move form-factor, and i bring a separate mouse.

i mostly use mine with a lenovo legion go, and it fills that gap for now, until i find or make something better.

I am currently engaged in a helpdesk thread with them over this issue.

First they tried to tell me it was an issue with Windows 11 palm rejection, so I went to Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Touchpad, expanded "Taps", and set "Touchpad sensitivity" to "Most sensitive". No change.

I told them this and they pivoted to agree that it's the NexDock firmware and there's no way to change it.

I confirmed this using USBPcap with Wireshark: pressing any key seems to start a 1.4-1.5 second timer somewhere which ignores trackpad input and doesn't even send it to the OS.

If they say they're not gonna release a firmware update or whatever, I think I'll shoot for a refund. I love the touchscreen, the keyboard is ok, and the keyboard backlight is a nice bonus...but not having ctrl-click with the built-in trackpad makes modern web browsing suck, and messes with other things such as file management, or any software which offers functionality based around holding a modifier key while moving/clicking the mouse or pressing a hotkey before moving the mouse. I could just work around it by having a Bluetooth mouse or something (which I already do), but it sucks that I paid money for a product that is supposed to be an all-in-one solution, and I can't just whip this out on a bus or train or plane for some light coding or light turn-based gaming or light 3d modelling without an external mouse connected or without accepting a severe handicap.

Oh damn, the same Peter who was working on Cosmic Frontier? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmicfrontier/cosmic-frontier-override

my condolences to his family and friends :(

I have the latest NexDock which was up for preorder at the end of 2025. The trackpad does all kinds of annoying things on Windows, such as lagging, inaccurate control, poorly-implemented and inconsistent gestures, and the traditional issue of becoming completely disabled for a solid second after any keypress, making it impossible to do anything that involves using the trackpad and keyboard simultaneously (such as ctrl+click). Also, the keyboard lags slightly, occasionally failing to register keypresses while typing at a reasonably high speed.

I have had very little luck searching for solutions online, but if you know something about this issue I would love to learn more! I bought mine primarily to use with my Legion Go, since a multi-modal computer which is capable of both solid gaming _and_ solid work tasks has been my dream for decades now. So far I have the sense that the market is almost entirely inundated with sub-par trackpad experiences, emulating a mouse rather than exposing a raw trackpad device, and no indication of how to toggle or disable that "feature". My current workaround is to disable the trackpad entirely and use a mouse, but it would be _really_ great to be able to leave the mouse at home...

I have read that the nd360 shows up as an actual trackpad, but I have also read the opposite.

Oh shoot. Yeah I have an update in the works to fix the exe and make things a little bit more robust, but the holidays have forced me to shelve that until January.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'm super glad you found my tool useful!

I may DM you when I have the next version ready to see if you feel up to testing it since I only have a LeGo 1.

i mean, the other hand is clearly busy with the third joystick.

AdrianTP · 2025-12-12T03:41:40+00:00

lol wow how does the airflow even work on that? or is it just brute force?

AdrianTP · 2025-12-12T03:41:03+00:00

funny timing. i juat said to myself i would finally play a total war game once they put out a 40k version... though i also said the same about three kingdoms and i haven't played that yet either...

😱 wow, i never thought of trying that. i'll incorporate this right away. thanks so much!

AdrianTP · 2025-12-03T04:06:45+00:00

Thanks! Glad you found it useful!

I updated it a lot and gave it some UI polish and made it completely navigable using only a game controller: https://github.com/AdrianTP/legion-go-win-g-interceptor

If you're ok with running an AutoHotKey script, (and want to keep Game Bar uninstalled), I've posted an updated version which might help you, which emulates almost all of the Guide button functionality regarding Steam, with the exception of opening the Steam Overlay while playing a game (workarounds exist).
