- nkozyra 12y agoSame although it causes me problems frequently because I also use a mouse. In fact sometimes when typing I'll every so gently brush the pad and jump somewhere else and start overwriting things.
- joshmlewis 12y agoI'm not sure what you're getting at. Your laptop is several times bigger than your phone so it's not as big as an issue. We are talking about a device that's smaller than your hand.
- thesimpsons1022 12y agohes getting at the fact that laptops are trained to ignore input from your palm and only only respond to your fingers... a smartphone could also ignore certain inputs that are obviously not meant to be used.
- gatehouse 12y agoI had to turn off touch to click on my MacBook Air because I often brush the pad with the heel of my hand while typing, causing the OS to refocus on wherever the cursor happened to be.
- mikepurvis 12y agoIsn't it off by default? I like the physical click way better, in any case.
