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

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.

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 use a mouse also, plugs in by USB I just never touch the touch pad. My mouse is a Microsoft wireless 4000You can add external mouse and keyboard with USB. BTW, this is a great computer for the price. Sleek, modern, duel Core AMD Radeon. E2 HD LED LCD widescreen. Only 4 GB memory though and 500GBHDD. I don't know if there is any way to disable pad, but why would you need to with a mouse? Best of luck. I hope I helped.

I'm not sure. If so it'd be in the touchpad settings where you could do so I think

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.

Many times I don't use the touch screen. I just use the keyboard and mouse. Never looked into actually deactivating it.

You can use a separate mouse one way or another. Doesn't matter if the Trackpad is disabled or not. However, if you do want to disable the Trackpad, just do the following:Go to "Devices and Printers"Select the keyboard cover deviceSelect the Trackpad driver settingsClick "Change settings"Disable the Trackpad driver.

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).

I'm not aware of the Laptop having a touch screen. But you can turn off the track pad internally, just ask me how once you get it if you plan on getting it.

There is no touchpad on this model, just the keyboard, touchpoint and mousebuttons, so there is no touch scrolling of any sort.

Have you turned off your touchpad? It's easy to move the cursor around accidentally with one hand while mousing with the other.

Hold down the "fn" (function) key and press the F9 key (on my laptop the F9 key has a graphic of the touchpad with a line through it).

If you are referring to the touchpad there is a feature called palm rejection and you adjust the sensitivity. It seems to be pretty smart and that if you slide your palms on the touch pad it minimizes movement of the pointer. My favorite trick though is to use a USB mouse, and then change the setting that disables the touchpad while mouse is active. It allows me to use a regular mouse but if unplug and need to use my laptop to do something really quick i can either use the touch screen or unplug the usb key and then the touchpad is active right away, plug the usb key back in and the touchpad automatically turns off. It even has a nice amber light to remind you the touchpad is inactive. If you are referring to the touchpad there is a feature called palm rejection and you adjust the sensitivity.

You can slightly tap the touchpad with "click" fuction. You can also tap it with the mouse switch hidden under the rubber feet. Either way can use the tap feature of the touchpad.

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.

No, turning off the keypad does not affect the main keypad, if there is one. But this answer is from a long time ago, since I never bought these until the furnished laptops came with no keypads. Not a great answer, but it is what I remember.

Yes. Currently having trouble with touch pad though. Not loving this laptop much anymore. Buyer beware.
