If this is by design, then it's a terrible design decision and one more reason
to keep synaptics. Take a look at the photo. The trackpad is offcenter, so when
you move your right hand down, your thumb is right over the middle of the
trackpad. This mean's that 1/2 the right clicks are registered as middle clicks
leading to all kinds of annoying behavior.
It may be possible to fake a 20 buttons, but the physical has a divider with 2
button slots(It's clearly in the photo you linked to). If you're going to add
extra buttons that aren't there, these should NOT be enabled by default,
especially on models like this one that have buttons physically labeled.</pre>
