Windows 10: wireless mouse and laptop touch pad

why does the Device Manager show the laptop touchpad as a PS/2 Compatible mouse

:)

 

Mouse pad sometimes is multi touch???


My wife also has a Toshiba Notebook and gets frustrated by the Touch pad [not to be confused with a mouse pad] when typing so she keeps it turned off and uses a wireless mouse. Some Touch pads have a "gesture" feature using 2 fingers, especially those with the Touch Screen, similar to SmartPhones and Tablets.

 

Mouse and Touch Pad Issues on Windows 10 with HP Spectra

Since you mentioned that you are using both a touch pad and a wireless mouse, we suggest that you disconnect the wireless mouse from your PC to make sure that this is not the one causing an interference to your touch pad. Also, attempt to connect the wireless
mouse to another device and observe the mouse behavior from there.

If you find that the wireless mouse is not causing the interference to your device, it means that the touch pad of your device is causing the erratic behavior. It could be that there are substances that are sticking to the touch pad that causes an interference
in using your device. We suggest that you check if there are moisture or other substance on the surface of the touch pad.

Keep us informed on the results.

 

Is there a solution for permenantly disabling the touch pad mouse?


Should be able to turn it off in the BIOS. Have done this with a couple laptops, I use a wireless mouse and sometimes the touch pad gets in the way when I'm typing.
