Asus touch pad too sensitive - ASUS Computers & Internet

Hi,

Follow these instructions:

Go to Control Panel--->Mouse
Open "Pointer Options" Tab
At the "Motion" area, change the pointer speed.

There is a way in Control Panel, goto "MOUSE" select the pointers tab then you can adjust the speed where you like it!

You've got it, your touching the touch pad, annoying isn't it.

You can try a couple of things,

1) Go to Start - Control panel - Mouse/Touch panel - and see if you can reduce the sensitivity or,

2) Disable your touch pad (Same route) and use an ordinary mouse instead. That's what the wife does.

You need to look into the user information manual for that notebook to see if there is a disable function. If nothing else works, Place tape over the touchpad and that should help. Additionally, you can look at your mouse sensitivity settings in Windows under control panel and reduce the sensitivity of the mouse.

To turn off the touchpad when an external mouse or other pointing device is present, you can goto the Control Panel and double click the Mouse properties icon.

Click the Device Select tab and check "Disable Touch Pad when USB Pointing Device is present." The cursor will no longer move via the touchpad.

Alternatively, you can permanently disable the touchpad of your laptop by clicking the "Disable Device" in the Touch Pad setting. Advanced users can disable the touchpad from the BIOS setup [press F2 when the computer is booting to enter BIOS settings]

Unfortunately, there are no keyboard shortcuts to enable/disable Touchpad movement or tapping. You can however drag the Mouse icon from the control panel to your Quick launch bar for quick access.

If that sounds too much effort, you may consider adjusting the sensitivity of the touchpad. This can be accessed from the Touch Pad tab of our mouse properties. Choose a low setting.

Try goign into the touch pad settings and tunring the sensitivity way up. either by its software or goto the control panel and mouse settings. hope this helps in some way.

From Dell:
Customizing the Touch PadYou can use the Mouse Properties window to disable the touch pad or adjust the touch pad settings.

1. Click Start , and then click Control Panel.
   
   
2. Click Hardware and Sound.
   
   
3. Click Keyboard.
   
   
4. In the Mouse Properties window:
   
   
   • Click the Device Select tab to disable the touch pad.
     
     
   • Click the Touch Pad tab to adjust touch pad settings.
     
     
5. Click OK to save the settings and close the window.

Change the sensitivity to the touch pad in the control panel.

If you reduce the sensitivity, it should fix the problem. If not, then the top part of the laptop case needs to be opened and then below the keyboard you need to replace the touch pad.

hello, have you tryed adjusting the sensitivity of the touch pad to a less sensitive touch ?

I don't know if you mean that your cursor suddenly moves as you are typing? If so, it is likely your touch pad is too sensitive. I have a mouse w/mouse pad but never disabled the touch pad. So i disabled the touch pad and it solved it for me. If you want to be sure it is the touch pad being over sensitive, then type a paragraph but keep your fingers and palms far away from the touch pad. If the problem improves, like it did for me, then the touchpad is too sensitive. You can go into the settings for the touchpad to change the sensitivity setting to make it less senstive and see if that works and it does not then press Fn +F7 keys to disable the touchpad.
