Can the tap for left button be disabled from the mousepad? It is very sensitive and constantly misfiring.

I have not attempted to disable any of the feature on this mini keyboard, but I would think if it is possible it would require a person to connect it to a computer.

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.

YES, select-drag and double tap works the same as typical mouse or trackpad. you can program how functions respond to different gestures (e.g. tap by different number of fingers). overall it's fairly slick :)

I use the touchpad only and have not had problems with it. Sometimes the cursor jumps when I am typing, but I have had this occasionally with other computers. Hope this is helpful.

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 not, the mouse was made for windows only so if you are on mac your screwed because it is considered another left click. for windows it is the back and forward buttons that cannot be changed ,sorry

When that happens to me, I realize it's because one of my thumbs touched the trackpad--and I agree it's a pain in the components. I'll bet there is a setting to turn off the trackpad somewhere (I use a real wired mouse), but I've managed to live with it well enough so far.

same here, it stops reacting by freezing, then when I tap the pad the cursor jumps to the lower part of the screen. It also zooms in on the screen almost everyday nonstop. It drives me nuts! , when I called to complain, the stupid customer service rep acted like he didn't know what I was talikng about, I told him to stop acting like he didn't know. I knew there were a lot a lot a lot of people complaining about this issue. He told me to reinstall the drivers from the website. I did, it works for a little bit, then goes back to the same issues I had before. I just use the gaming mouse that came with the laptop. That solved the problem. But I shouldn't have to resort to using the mouse :( *pissed at asus* same here, it stops reacting by freezing, then when I tap the pad the cursor jumps to the lower part of the screen.

I use a Logitech Anywhere wireless mouse. But it takes over some of the functions of the mouse pad. Like scrolling is assigned to the mouse, and finger gestures no longer work. I don't mind that much. Since I prefer the mouse to the pad . I haven't found a fix yet. Maybe it's a Logitech software issue. Haven't tried any other mouse.

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

You sure can. There's a hotkey for it. I usually keep my touchpad off when i can and use a cheap usb mouse.

The tapping function equivalent to the click of a mouse needs a hard surface to work. I just tried it with the trackpad on a hard surface and a pillow. It did not work when on the pillow.

There is a mouse lock icon that I occasionally hit. It is on the touch pad. At first I thought It was broken, but it was just that.

I have not had problems with the power source. However the cursor is a nightmare and has made this beautiful computer all but unusable. I think that the issue is with an all too sensitive trackpad, but I cannot seem to figure out a way to turn it off.

It's not the touchpad - it's your thumb. I had the same problem until I realized that I was letting my thumbs drop when typing. The cursor jumps to where the mouse pointer is when you're typing. Like most of my problems - it's between the keyboard and the chair.

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.
