How can I disable the mousepad?

[JP6969]

While typing I often touch the mousepad which results in typing at the wrong place in the document. I never use the mousepad and want to turn it off. Is this possible at this product?

Hey there! @JP6969,

Try double tapping on the top left of the trackpad this should disable the touchpad. Just double tap at the same place to enable the touchpad.

Or 

The device properties are available through the "Control Panel." To turn the touchpad off, click "Start" and then "Control Panel." Double-click the "Mouse" settings. Click the "Device Settings" tab, and click "Disable" to disable the touchpad. You can select "Enable" to use it again.
