In fact, some seem to be so sensitive they could be affected by people hitting nearby keys such as the space-bar, though I have no concrete evidence for this.
#Desktop mouse pointer jumping problem windows 7 skin
Either my skin is less sensitive than it used to be, or mousepads are far more sensitive than they used to be, or both. However, I was making enough contact to affect the mouse pointer and move the cursor.
I had been certain that I wasn't touching the mousepad, and not brushing it with my palm. You can also adjust its sensitivity to PalmTracking. On my Asus U元0A, this meant right-clicking on the Elan Smart-Pad icon in the Systray (bottom right), selecting the Elan tab in Mouse Properties, clicking Options and then Tapping. I did solve the problem in the end, by going to the touchpad controller and turning off (unchecking) the feature often known as "tap to click".
Neither Microsoft nor the manufacturer could help me turn this feature off, probably because it didn't exist. The mouse seemed to be clicking itself to select actions on a mouse-hover, which could be disastrous. However, I did run into it recently with a couple of netbooks running Windows XP, and a thin-and-light Windows 7 portable that I bought myself. I'd not run into the problem because, for decades, I've used Toshiba Portégé and IBM ThinkPad laptops with pointing sticks (TrackPoint, PointStick etc) instead of mousepads. To identify it as a fault, we really want to know the make and model of the mousepad, the version number of the software driver, and similar details. Typically people mention the brand of PC and the operating system, which makes the problem appear to be completely random and therefore beyond rational solution. This problem comes up quite often on the net, usually on PCs but sometimes on Macs, but almost never with any useful information.
