Toshiba uses the trademarked term 'TouchPad' for its built-in pointing device, though some computer manufacturers use the term 'TrackPad' for a similar device. We recommend that you first skim-read through one of the two feature set examples below for an overview of the various options available to you. The features and controls of the TouchPad software varies considerably among Toshiba computer models, though we have attempted to summarize this variety in the two feature set examples, below. There are several other solutions you can pursue, detailed below, which involve modifying the settings of the TouchPad software to suit your personal preferences and work habits. With some practice, you may be able to adjust your typing technique to avoid accidental contact with the TouchPad. These unsolicited pointer movements and button taps tend to occur especially with smaller laptop computer models - which have the TouchPad set relatively close to the keyboard - and more especially if you make the transition from using a larger laptop model to using a smaller one.

If the Tapping feature of the TouchPad is enabled, then it may seem that the left TouchPad button is being clicked automatically - as the Tapping feature translates purposeful taps - and also accidental light touches - on the TouchPad as clicks of the left TouchPad button. This may result in arbitrary selection of text in documents - and to its accidental deletion, when it is replaced by the next character you type. The mouse pointer may then appear to occasionally move 'on it's own', when the actual cause is the heel of your hand or the base of your thumb grazing the surface of the TouchPad. In this position, your hands may sometimes lightly brush across the surface of the TouchPad, without you noticing.

While you are typing, the mouse pointer (cursor) may seem to move or jump around 'by itself' to random locations on the screen.
