Has anyone had trouble with the touch pad? ALSO with the mouse NOT working?

Yes, I have. The pad does not work at this very moment! I use a wireless mouse. Earlier this week, it did not work. I replaced the battery and it works again. Regarding the pad, have you tried the computer's built-in troubleshooting process?

There are some driver updates on their website that I had to install to get it working properly after updating to Windows 8.1.

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.

The only suggestion I have is for you to turn off the 'Tapping' function on your mouse pad as you might be accidentally tapping on it as you use your space bar. I haven't had any problems with the two laptops we purchased from Asus, but I did turn off that function on both of them. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help. I don't have this issue with my 725-0687.One way is to use a mouse, as this will avoid having to use the touchpad.Not a proper solution though, so I'd be inclined to complain to Amazon and ask for a return ticket for either a repair or a replacement.

The touchpad seems ultra sensitive to me, but then this is my first laptop so I have nothing to compare it to. I have a wireless mouse also that I use sometimes.

Hi, I use a Microsoft wireless touch mouse without any problems. It uses an USB Nano transceiver which Works well (about the mouse, do not buy that model, the touch design is more a bother than anything else). Another thing, if you want to upgrade this machine to Windows 8, this would require that you upgrade the bios to enable the hardware buttons. The bios upgrade is not reliable in this device!! (actually, I bricked my asus doing that), please check on internet before do it.

I am not sure exactly what the problem you are describing is, but I had a problem with my touch screen. For me, it would just stop working. At first I re-installed the driver, but that only worked for a short time. I contacted Acer customer support and after several attempts to fix it by reinstalling things, they said it was likely a hardware issue and that I would have to send it in for repair. I had only had my computer a couple days when this happened, so I returned it.

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).

For me the touchpad is smooth and responds nicely. I do pair mine though with a wireless mouse often or I'll use a stylus. Hope this helps! It is a great ultrabook!

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.

I am not a huge fan of the touch pad. It is very unresponsive at times. Really bugs me. Other than that, it is an excellent laptop.

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

I think you may have a problem with the touchpad. Mine works fine right out of the box. You shouldn't have to do anything to make it work.

For me, the stylus in the starter kit worked fine. There was no problem with it. The only problem I had was with the mouse.

I haven't had any issues with mine. It sounds like you have a short circuit happening in your mouse that's depleting the power.

I didn't have any problem with the keyboard. My problem was with the wifie (I lost connection one every 2 hours aprox), but I solved it updating the wireless driver

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

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.
