It drives me nuts! I have a mouse and dont need the touch pad. All it is doing is getting in my way when I am typing. My last laptop had a button right over it to turn it off. This one doesn't. Is there any way to turn it off?

Did you install the touch pad drivers associated with your laptop? I would get frustrated with this too because I would play CS:GO and my palm would constantly move my crosshair to the left. I haven't quite figured out how to configure it so it automatically disables when a mouse is connected, but for sure you can download the driver and disable it via mouse settings.
