Is there a hotkey to disable the mouse when you need to type?

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

Haven't used it in awhile, but yes, that was one way. I believe you could also reverse the mapping and have the function keys be the default. The NICE thing about the odd position of the CTRL key is that it brings your hand into a better position to strike more keys.

Well I myself almost always use a mouse. But the response from Becky seems helpful. She says it can, by pressing (Fn and F7 simultaneously. It's worth a try!!

Hold the "function" key then press F7. This will toggle the mouse pad off and on

I usually right click (which doesn't register), but moving it works too, takes a moment longer. I know the root of your question, and it's not an annoying mouse in that way.

I use a software called X-mouse button control to control all the mappings of my mouse. Super useful software and best of all it's free and works with every mouse I have ever had.

a program called 'AutoHotKey' will allow you to do so by writing a script. Any key or mouse button can be mapped to any other key or mouse button.

You're probably hitting the mouse pad accidentally. I did that at first. It took me a little time to adjust to the keyboard but don't have any problems now.

Press Fn ank OK buttons for mouse right click. It is annotated on the keyboard.

There isnt... but it's pretty self explanatory. .. The square button changes from keyboard to mouse

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.

Not that I can find on the keyboard. That would likely be a software option on whatever you are using it on.

No, it doesn't have a mouse. You can move the cursor with the arrow keys or with your finger on the screen.

Yes , I use a mouse instead of the keyboard just like a PC or Laptop. Just plug and play !!!
