Press Fn & F10. This disables the touchpad. You will have to use arrows or a mouse to move the cursor. This helps when you are doing a lot of typing. Press the same keys to enable the touchpad when you are finished typing.

SOURCE: hello, my samsung n150plus's cursor

I had the same problem and discovered that when I was typing my thumbs where touching the touch pad and that was causing the problem. I now type with my thumbs up and not touching the pad. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: while I type I lose

When you type, your thumbs have a tendency of touching the touchpad, those touches are probably treated as "taps" and consequently, the cursor gets repositioned and all of a sudden, you find yourself typing on a different line. It's incredibly annoying.

See if you can go into your computer's Control Panel. Go to Mouse and look for something that allows you to adjust your touchpad's tap sensitivity - you want to make it less sensitive (i.e. something that takes a real tap to register as a tap, cause right now, any glancing blow, or touch, is treated as a tap).

That oughta do it.

SOURCE: Touchpad too sensitive - keeps moving cursor

You can try to use external/wireless keyboards, or change your sitting posture.

Cursor keeps jumping

Hello,

I suggest that you scan your computer with RadarSync so that you can find the latest touchpad driver update for your computer. It's a driver related issue.

Jumping cursor on EEE pc.

You're hitting the touchpad with your palms as you type. Either lift your hands when you're typing or temporarily disable the touchpad.

Cursor jumps around

Does the cursor jump around when your hands are nowhere near the touchpad? The touchpads are heat and pressure sensitive. I personally have very warm (and sometimes sweaty) hands. I have this problem often when working on laptops. If I hover my hands over the pad, it causes the mouse to move. I've had to take a business card, put tape on one side of it, and use it as a flip-cover for the touchpad on most of my laptops. If the cursor moves around when you're nowhere near the laptop, then you may want to try disabling the pointing stick (if it has one). I've had several clients with laptops where the pointing stick mouse control go crazy and move and click on things.

While typing an email the cursor will jump back a few sentences

I recently acquired this problem after having my computer serviced. I have been using it for over a year with no difficulty. I read somewhere that this is a microsoft problem, one of their service packages. The question is, which one?

Typing problem

the problem is where the mouse cursor is. When you begin to type have the mouse cursor as far down the page as possible the glide pad can pick up the slightest variant of pressure and move your text to the position where the mouse cursor is.
