How difficult is it to accidentally switch between keyboard and touchpad mode?

Yes. It can be very frustrating, however if you use the hot keys fn+f7 you can turn the touch pad on and off.

It's sensitive but as far as using all the touchpad gestures I'm gonna go ahead and say no because it's too small to be practical. However, on the bottom of the touchpad there is a small stripe for scrolling which can easily be done with one thumb. Unless you have the hands of a newborn baby I wouldn't plan on using gestures : )

I agree! I have started using the tap feature of the touchpad (two fingers for right click). I works OK for most things once you get used to it but for quick response in a game, I have to connect an external mouse (trackball in my case).

Yes, we had a problem with the touchpad being pressed while using the keyboard and USB mouse. Fortunately, there is a setting that automatically disables the touchpad whenever a USB mouse is plugged in.Also, we had to disable the Win 8 gestures on the touch pad, because it kept doing weird things like pulling up the Windows 8 sidebar (which we never use).

You can, but when I did it froze up and i had to reboot. Do a google search on yours and it brings up several problems with the Mouse and finger pad.

Yes. Above the keypad, on the laptop, there are three buttons. The first one is the settings button and if you click on it a window will pop up with a bunch of different settings and turning the touchpad of is one of those options.

Yes, you can go full tablet mode and the QWERTY physical keyboard will be disabled.

yes you can, but the keyboard/mouse sensitivity to touch isn't all that great......

Yes, you can turn off the touchpad by hitting Fn F7, there is also a setting under the synaptic manager that detects and ignores accidental "palm clicks." You can adjust the sensitivity of this setting by right clicking on the Synaptics Pointing Device icon in the task tray and selecting "Pointing Device Properties." In the new window that pops up, click on "SmartSense." This slider allows you to adjust how the touchpad responds. If set to "Max" then it will only respond to a single finger, any touched area larger than a fingertip will be ignored. It may take some trial and error, but within a few days of owning the laptop you should be able to get it to a comfortable setting for your use.

That is correct. It has only one shift key, and it is on the left. It also has no way to disable the 'tap to click' on the touchpad so keep that in mind as well.

Yes but not sure how. Go to search or help and put in disable touch pad. It should tell you how. I too use a mouse but have not disabled my touch pad either.

No. The button toggle between input or output mode. Can not be both at the same time.

I found you have to press lightly on the switch to change between all functions.

I believe you can go in under 'Control Panel' and mouse/keyboard settings and deactivate the touchpad...

Don't know, but the sound manipulation by the touchpad is doing the same to me. I tried to find a disabler for it with no luck. I did download the supplemental control program from Logitech that goes with the keyboard. Plan to look at it again to try to disable, just haven't got to it yet.

Yes. There is an option to disable the trackpad. You can do it on the "Device Manager" level (if you want it permanently off) or at the trackpad driver level - then it will be off only when you have an external HID (i.e. mouse) plugged in. However, after a while you get used to it, actually, and it becomes borderline workable.
