It is possible to disable the multitouch, I did on my LT2030u. I can not tell you exactly how since I don't have the netbook with me but try right clicking the touchpad icon on the lower right of the task bar this should bring up an options menu.

Yes. Search for Pen and Touch in Control Panel (this can also be found in system tray by double clicking on "flicks"). Select the Touch tab and uncheck the option to 'Use your finger as an input device'This disables the touch functionality on the HP TouchSmart

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

Since I am a confirmed mouser, I do not use the touchpad. M. Goldman is correct the touchpad is touchy. I find it helps to disable the touchpad by holding down the Fn key and hitting the F7 to disable the touchpad. If not I find myself sometimes hitting the touchpad when I hit the space bar. This can cause some confusion until you realize what is going on.

No, a touch pad is a pad that you move your finger(s) across to move the pointer. It acts as your mouse

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.

no problem with the touchpad. I'm very happy with Adesso products .... i have a couple of their keyboards.... and they are fantastic

Yes that's what I do. The touch pad is so quirky you almost have to use an external mouse. The only caveat is that there is only one USB port so if you're using a wireless mouse you can't use the USB port for anything else.

Yes, and no. The driver gives you the three functions listed above. There are no other touchpad functions supported and Logitech apparently has no intention of expanding that functionality. So, you get basic mouse functions with the buttons below. one tap is left mouse click, two fingers is scroll and three fingers is back and forward. Two finger tap doesn't work. Pinch/Zoom doesn't work, etc.

The question I have aside from the issue of multi-touch is this, why doesn't the manufacturer and the elocity web site state"multi-touch" or show that function being demonstrated in a video? Surely they understand and can appreciate the value thatfunction has for a great many potential buyers. The fact they choose not to use that verbiage signals to me that it isn't truemulti-touch.

no it does have multi touch you have to press FN and F10 at the same time to enable and disable it. and you can enable multi click or one click...i recommend buying a bluetooth mouse...especially if you are taking it to work or the library...i got the microsoft 5000 small and very comfortable to use. i have to say thought after getting used to this keyboard it is very weird to type on my desktop or 15 inch wide screen laptop. download batterybar it really helps...they do have a free version. i use this on all my laptops http://osirisdevelopment.com/BatteryBar/download.html

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

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.=)

Just plugged it in to try. Scrolling, left-click and right-click zone work. Other multifinger gestures (define, mission control, next/prev desktop, zoom) do not. I even opened USB Overdrive and it doesn't recognize the gestures as events coming from the trackpad. So, it works, but is missing most gestures.

This is very helpful. Other discussions have also noted the the SE trackpad does not have multitouch either. I will follow your advice and get the regular nc10, thanks S. Quran!

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.

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.
