Ah I just meant if you were trying to move the cursor across the screen when doing something like installing non-steam games or just doing w.e else in the OS outside cursor locked gaming, if that was when you found the pad to small.

I haven't used a Legion Go S, just my original Go, which has a roomy enough trackpad. The Go S looks like it's barely the size of the top part of my thumb and review have widely panned it as useless.
