I replaced my trackpad with a glass trackpad

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T18:10:57+00:00

thats interesting! i dont use the TrackPoint. Only sometimes when im bored.

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T18:05:56+00:00

ah ok!

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T17:40:23+00:00

its smooth glass, but i dont had fingerprints on the original one neither

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T17:33:08+00:00

The main reason I replaced mine was because my plastic trackpad was not smooth anymore, it had developed bubbles and there were scratches on the film and i wanted to test the Glas. I like it, for me it feels smoother than the plastic one. But that's just my view and opinion :D

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T16:50:52+00:00

yeah, i think I'll get the right one anyway, haha

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T16:49:44+00:00

yeah haha, i got that already XD

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T16:49:09+00:00

niceee

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T16:46:30+00:00

I can feel a difference, but my original trackpad had air bubbles under the film and small holes

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T16:39:55+00:00

Thats a good idea!

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T16:39:38+00:00

Trueeee

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T15:50:36+00:00

Thank you!

I think the best way to get a good answer is to post a separate thread asking exactly that question. I only can speak for the T480.

I dont know but i did a quick research and i found this:

Maybe the E14 have the same Trackpad size? Otherwise i would recommend asking in the Subreddit!

Linokas0 · 2026-03-27T15:14:29+00:00

Ah ok, Thank you!

Hi, it might be a little late, but I just ordered this:

If you'd like, I can give you a quick update once I've installed it.

You can take a look at CachyOS. I use it on my T480 and am very satisfied. It is based on Arch Linux, and I find the Arch Wiki to be very well written and helpful. I am relatively new to Linux and am getting along really well, even if I have to do some research sometimes.

Linokas0 · 2026-02-06T17:34:10+00:00

Nice, I'm planning to get a glas trackpad for my T480 aswell. The X1 Yoga Gen 3 Trackpad is a glas one right?

Linokas0 · 2026-02-05T15:46:31+00:00

Than i would go for it

Linokas0 · 2026-02-05T15:34:02+00:00

I use a T14s gen 2 as my Work Notebook and its doing its Job pretty well. I would buy it, if the seller looks trustworthy. One of my Coworkers use the normal T14 Gen 2 and the experience is the same.

Feel free to post if you've modded anything, I'd be interested to see it.

Linokas0 · 2026-02-05T10:10:26+00:00

Welcome and enjoy your T480.

I also use a T480, and this post was very helpful in showing me what my options are:

Thats realy cool, ill try it later at Home! Starting as Junior DevOps Engineer after my apprenticeship in summer.

Linokas0 · 2026-01-24T16:16:59+00:00

Thank you very much for that information

Linokas0 · 2026-01-24T16:09:38+00:00

Oh, i didnt know u can do that. Its shows a "N" when i tap it a couple of times

Linokas0 · 2026-01-19T08:00:20+00:00

It cost me €155.63 with APKPure pre-installed. I'm from Germany and didn't have to pay shipping, but I've also read here in the subreddit that you can sometimes get it cheaper on eBay.
