The mouse pad is my least favorite thing about the laptop, but no malfunction.

I'm having this problem as well and so does many other people on the web. The touchpad and keyboard behaves erratically. touchpad is pretty much useless so I have to resort to using external USB mouse. This laptop needs to be recalled. Can someone sue Asus to recall this laptop? Last Asus laptop I'm going to buy because of poor service.

Great question. Ironically today I got back home and didn't have the mousepad out under it yet since I was lazy and it worked on my desk. So it should work unless the surface doesn't allow for it.

I use the trackpad in bed (I have a bad back and use a computer table as well). I have the touch gestures enabled so that i can tap instead of click. If you have the trackpad set up this way, you can use it on a soft surface.

My touchpad worked coming out the box. So maybe this one is defective. It has been a great machine. Maybe you just got a bad one.

Mine just recently stopped scrolling altogether, but when it did scroll, I pushed the scroll button down, it moved the page up. Logitech isn't what it used to be.

It could be that you're hitting the sides rather than the center; since the bottom side serve a as left-right click buttons in a mouse, you generally have to click towards the center of touchpad. I've experienced what you say, but I figured it out by trial and error.

You can tap the pad or press down on the center of the pad. For right click, just press down in the bottom right corner of the pad. Also, to scroll, swipe up and down with two fingers.

I find it frustrating for simple desktop use. It will sometimes click things when you don't want it to. It's not precise or very accurate. It sometimes goes off on its tangent i.e it'll drift to the edge for no reason. It's terrible really. Use a mouse it'll cut down on the frustration level immensely. However I will add that as of now the trackpad is officially the only problem I have with it. Fanstastic computer otherwise.

The wireless laser Apple mouse did not work on the desk pad. The cursor made a few random jerky moves and then stopped moving at all.

I can't tell u why this is happening. I am having an issue with mines as well. The touchscreen on the corners no longer function.I have considered taking it to a Best Buy for inspection. Not happy with this purchase. I no longer use it.

If you install USB Overdrive, you can configure the buttons (i use it for back and forward on browsers). with USB Overdrive, you can also reverse the direction of the scroll on just the mouse (without impacting the scroll of the touchpad--which somehow makes sense to me. i'm sure i'm not the only one.

I use a mouse instead of the touch pad but I don't know how to disable to touchpad.

No, the button's make a clicking noise and swipe pad in the middle makes noise sometimes. The clicking isn't to bad but the swipe is really loud sometimes. It is hard to explain what the swipe pad sounds like. I have had some trouble lately with the mouse working with window's eight. I hope the new up date for window's helps that.

It doesn't allow anything since mouse is not working(i was already refunded for this).
