Why doesn't my laptop

I'm stumped

You could always just use a different finger

Mouse pads tend to be responsive only to normal finger conditions.

Wet fingers don't work terribly well (usually not at all). Plastered fingers don't cut it either.

Neither do other objects such as pens, pencils and erasers in most cases. It seems that synthetic materials just don't do it, generally.
