    [SOLVED] Logitech trackpad stopped working today

    I own a Logitech k830 (pictured below)

    Up until today, I was able to tap on the trackpad for a left-click, and I was able to two-finger tap for a right-click.
    Now tapping does absolutely nothing.
    I followed the advice here, but it did nothing: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1184...-19-10-upgrade
    I found another thread that someone suggested booting into an older kernel, but that didn't help me (the latest on my machine is 5.8.0-53, and I tried to go back to 5.8.0-48).
    I downloaded "Synaptics Mouse & Touchpad" from Discover, but that did nothing.

    What's weird is that two-finger scrolling still works.
    The touch pad still moves the cursor, I simply have to use the physical buttons on the keyboard to click/right-click.
    Why would tapping just break?

    Oh, wow. Never mind, everyone.
    I was unaware that tap-to-click could be disabled by the hardware. Apparently if you hold down FN, and click the physical left-click button, it turns tapping on/off.
    I have no idea when I could have done that, but I should have checked the manual before blaming Kubuntu.
