There have been a lot of complaints about the track pad. I usually prefer a mouse anyhow. Can the track pad be turned off entirely?

Actually you can do something even better. There is a setting in the mouse control panel that has to be installed from Vizio. There is an option to disable the touch pad when another mouse is connected. Works like a CHARM. Absolutely love it.

Yes. If u wanna turn off touchpad, u must go to the bios (then the laptop is loading, press F2), go to advanced -> internal mouse -> disable.=)

Sorry I do not know. Why would you ever want to go back to a mouse after a trackball?

The track pad does have left and right mouse buttons at the bottom of the trackpad where you'd expect them to be. You don't see them but they are there. Also, the battery life is very good. I am used to 3 hours with my old laptop and now that just makes a dent in the battery life with plenty to go. The one item I don't like is the trackpad is very very sensitive. Just barely brush it and it will relocate the cursor. But, I haven't installed the recommended drivers yet so that might be part of the problem.

You can turn it off but only on the keyboard but it's hard to see the letters when it's off. And the mouse has led but it doesn't turnoff ever and I'll have to check the warranty on it when I get home

Yes! Go to the bottom of your keyboard and find the blue Fn key next to the Ctl key. Hold that down while hitting the F7 key in the top row. That should turn off the touch pad. Hope this helps

I haven't had that exact issue but I did have problems with the mouse/track pad not working right all of the sudden and I called ASUS tech support and they had me re-install the drivers for it which fixed the problem immediately. Maybe you just need to re-install some keyboard drivers, call ASUS they will walk you through it step by step or find another solution. Good luck! 888-678-3688 or customer service 877-339-2787

You can turn it off for optimum battery life. I never turn it off but I've only had it about a month now and haven't needed to replace the battery. There is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse.

Not that I know of. The track pad is just used for scrolling vertically or horizontally.

Not sure about this issue. I have the laptop and have used approx. 2 hrs per day for 4-5 months without having a single instance of a trackpad problem. Computer has worked very well for me. Only issue has been resuming a large number of windows after long duration of rest.Sorry if this does not directly answer your question.

No. You have to shut it off. But it's a great mouse! It's small and very comfortable to use.

Hi Mike, The battery average life is above average compared to other Laptops. The solid state hard drive adds to the life of the battery compared to a spinning disk. I must say the track pad is awkward and is a single surface and does have double click capabilities, however it's very problematic getting a double click. I have not manipulated the settings, but find that the track pad often gets stuck in a right click mode. I was forced to buy a wireless mouse because the track pad functionality is so poor. Hope this helps.

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.

I generally do not turn the mouse off when it is not in use, so that wastes battery a little, but I'v had it for eight months and I have only replaced the batteries once. I use it maybe 15 hours a week for gaming and I also use it instead of my laptop's trackpad for daily use.

It's going to be very difficult using a mouse. I hate touchpads too. When I'm using the FitDeck I read or watch TV.

As far as I am concerned the trackpad has no problem. It is something that can be adjusted with the sensibility setting.

I've been using mine for over six months and experienced no issues at all. I do turn it off when shutting down my PC, but have never had a problem leaving it on, either. So I would highly recommend this touchpad.
