Tap-to Click is too sensitive on HP Chromebook x360

[ATK-138]

Hello, I've been using HP Chromebook x360  for a couple months and  like it so far. 

One thing bothers me is that tap-to click is too sensitive sometimes,  it clicks even though I don't tap.

Unlike Windows, Chrome OS doesn't have option for sensitivity control on tapping.

Is there any way to fix this?

@ATK-138 Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that the Tap-to Click is too sensitive on HP Chromebook x360.

Let's try this method:
Type chrome://flags/#ash-debug-shortcuts in the address bar of the web browser and press Enter. Enable/Disable the option Debugging keyboard shortcuts, then restart your Chromebook. Press the Search + Shift + P keys at the same time to toggle the touchpad On or Off.

And, also I've found YouTube video showing  How To Disable the Touchpad on a Chromebook

Hello Praveen 196,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I know I can turn off "Tap-to- Click" at Chrome OS Device Setting, I would turn it off whenever I use this Chromebook for important task. But I just wish I could adjust tapping sensitivity just like Windows. 

If you have any tips to do so, please let me know.

By the way, this unwanted tap-to-click (I would call it Ghost Tapping ) happens very randomly,  as if touch pad is sensing heat from my floating finger.

Thanks for your help.
