I have one of my corners set to right-click (or ctrl-click). SOmetimes it seems as if it's acting iffy, but then I'll try again with a faster tap... it pretty much seems to always work then.

If I have one qualm w/ SideTrack, it's that I can't configure the "tap" speed to match my style. Other than that, it's an awesome application.

You may want to try resetting your preferences, maybe something got munged. Also, I have actually found I get better accuracy when I set the click areas to smaller sizes. I am using the main pad as right-click, the upper right and upper/lower left corners for Exposé, and the right side of the trackpad for vertical scrolling.

SideTrack is the best enhancement to hit the market since Viagra ;-)

I've noticed the same problem, but only because my fingers aren't that accurate. I tend to tap on corners without looking to see where I am. So sometimes I hit the border instead of the trackpad corner.

Even when I look, though, my lower-right corner tap for right-click sometimes doesn't respond. Never did figure it out, but I'm just a new user to that application.
