Can't disable tapping on touchpad Pavlion Dv7t Win7

I have a HP Pavilion with Windows 7. I can uncheck the Tapping box in the Synaptics control panel but I can still tap to click. I want to disable tapping to click. I only want to use the buttons for clicking.

It's very strange that it is not disabling in the setting. A workaround you can use is to speed up the double tap speed so that it requires the touchpad to be double tapped really fast to activate.
1. Click to open Mouse Properties.
2. Click the Buttons tab, and adjust the double-click settings.

Disable tap to click

I am having a problem with the tap to click "feature" or as I would rather call it, nuisance. It was easy to disable the tap to click feature in the touch pad driver for Windows 8.0, but the one that Toshiba Service Station suggested for Windows 8.1 seems to have that setting removed. Is it possible to disable tap to click on my laptop using Windows 8.1? I have a Satellite c655d-s5300. Any help will be appreciated. I don't care for this tap to click feature, but I guess I will have to get used to it if the setting to disable it has been taken away.

Nothing. Thanks a lot, Toshiba. And your customer service did exactly zero to tell me how to disable the tap to click, either. They sent me instructions on something that had absolutely nothing to DO with disabling tap to click! What the holy heck is wrong with these people? If you're going to have completely ineffectual customer service, completely ineffectual customer forums, and no --um-- MANUAL THAT I CAN READ, maybe, either online or in the box--that would have been nice-- then can you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE NEVER HAVE A TAP TO CLICK FUNCTION ON YOUR STUPID COMPUTERS EVER, EVER AGAIN? Whew. Sorry for the rant, but after getting no manual, no help from customer service, and no help here, I just had to. No one is listening anyway, apparently. I guess I'll buy a mouse so that I can just disable the stupid touchpad. An extra so many dollars, but fat luck getting any effective answer out of these people at this company, I guess.

Lenovo G500 - Can't Use Keys And Touchpad/Buttons At Same Time

Whilst gaming, primary button use for me will be WASD (Directional) and obviously right&left click.
The problem I'm getting is that whilst I'm holding one of WASD, then say right click to shoot it doesn't shoot - almost as if the button is locked whilst i'm holding a key. When I hold a button, and then press a key it allows me too. It's just when holding a key I can't press a button.
I have searched online for ages, put palm check on minimum(I can't turn it off, it's not a option), disabled synaptics, tried to install Elantech(Couldn't) but nothing seems to work.
It may not be the biggest issue, but it really takes the fun out of playing games as I have to stop walking so I can shoot.

hi danowens,
Can you try the following:
If you have a Synaptics Touchpad:
1. Uninstall the current touchpad driver and install the driver below from the Synaptics website
Windows 8/7/XP/Vista 64/32-bit Edition v17.0.19
118.1 MB zip
After installing the driver above, try to check if you can now disable Palm Check
- Touchpad PalmCheck - Turn On or Off in Windows
If you have an ELAN Touchpad:
- check this article
If the above fix doesn't work, try to temporarily uninstall the Touchpad driver (don't re-install it) and check if you can now use the WASD keys and the touchpad at the same time..

T61 touchpad, disabling tapping

I'm trying to figure out how to disable tapping on the touchpad on my T61. I can't seem to get to the configuration for the touch pad. I've tried installing the UltraNav driver and utility that I found on the lenovo site. (e.g. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67226). The driver seems to be installed according to the windows device manager, but when I try to run the utility (UNAVOSD.exe) it says "UltraNav Driver is not installed".
I'm not even sure if that utility is what I want to be using, as on other machines the synaptics configuration appears in the Mouse control panel, but on my T61 all I get is settings for sample rate, wheel detectection and input buffer length.
Does anyone have some suggestions for what I should try next?

Ok, I had a chance to take a look at my ThinkPad, I haven't touched it in a few weeks , but today I found it. Try this.
-> Control Panel -> Mouse -> UltraNav tab -> TouchPad settings -> Tapping -> Enable
This is where I have it.

How can I disable the double-tap to zoom in function?

I play a game where I must click fast on a button, but tapping the button zooms in/out the screen all the time.
I also don't need to zoom in. Thus, how can I disable the tap to zoom function?

The double tap focuses on elements on the page and to zoom pinching in and out are the main features of zooming in Fennec. Currently there are no ways to disable this feature.

How can I disable my EliteBook 820's touchpad

I've tried most everything (device manager, control panel mouse, touchpad software...), yet I still can't disable the touchpad on my new EliteBook 820. It's crazy sensitive, and makes typing a basic sentence nearly impossible unless I slow down to a crawl. Surely HP has a means for controlling this piece of hardware -- what is it?

Certainly. Watch the video.
Your notebook should have a newer version that has more component tests than the one in the video. If not, you can download the latest version (v. 5.5.0.0) at Http://www.hp.com/go/techcenter/PCDiags.

Can I disable the force click action for 'tap to click' in the 2015 version?

In the 2015 MBP version can I disable the force click action in system preferences, and use to tap to click as with previous trackpads?

Hey petunia42,
You should be able to disable Force Click on the new MacBook Pros, as noted in the following article:
To turn off Force click, deselect the “Force click and haptic feedback” checkbox. This will disable the functionality described in the Trackpad preferences pane.

How can I disable the annoying orange outline while I tap a link or a input area?

i'm a user of Firefox for android. i've found a problem since I update to 16.0.2 and above. every time i tap a link or a input text in the web page, there always shows an annoying orange rectangle outline around the focused link or input area. Moreover, this outline would keep showing while I drag the page and start browsing other parts of the same page. how can I disable the annoying feature?

This is the default feature of the browser to indicate which element are you on, if you are actually on focus with the input or tapping on the right link.
Since this is a default feature of the browser, it now depends on the website's developer to override this feature with custom focus styles. Normally, in a browser, you can override this with user styles/scripts but as far as I know, Firefox Android does not support such features.
However, I found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929362 an article] that states that there is a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ plugin] that is compatible with Firefox Android that handles user styles.

Synaptics Touch Pad - Permenently disabling tapping - A solution

MODERATORS: I wasn't sure where I should post a 'solution' rather than a 'problem/issue' but felt that Hardware Issues was the best location after viewing all other forums.
I recently have had issues with disabling my synaptics touchpad 'tapping' feature. A feature that can be quite annoying when engaging in an irc conversation, especially when you suddenly realize you are not typing anymore because you accidently grazed the touchpad resulting in the the client no longer having focus.
Let me first describe how my system is set-up. I have hot-pluggin enabled, therefore, HAL must be used rather than the infamous xorg.conf. As a matter of fact, I never even created an xorg.conf when setting up my arch system. If you do not have hot plugging enabled, then this particular solution is not for you.
After scouring google searches, the Archlinux forum, and even #archlinux on freenode, I finally decided to just poke around myself. I found the 'hal-device' tool in /usr/bin so called upon it and received a VERY large list of devices being handled by HAL. To make it easier on the eyes and easier to review, I did the following while in ~/.
hal-device > hal-device-output.txt
After reviewing the output of hal-device with my fav. text editor, leafpad, I finally came upon the Synaptics section. After viewing what settings were being fed into HAL and exactly how HAL saw my device, I configured the policies appropriately. If you have not yet copied your Synaptics policy to /etc/hal/fdi/policy then execute the following code:
sudo cp /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/11-x11-synaptics.fdi /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
This will copy a default policy to the hal policy directory. Now let's compare MY output of hal-device to the default policy.
Output from hal-device
18: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input_0'
linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int)
linux.subsystem = 'input' (string)
input.device = '/dev/input/event8' (string)
input.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string)
input.originating_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
input.x11_options.TapButton1 = '1' (string)
input.x11_options.TapButton2 = '2' (string)
input.x11_options.TapButton3 = '3' (string)
input.x11_driver = 'synaptics' (string)
info.subsystem = 'input' (string)
info.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string)
linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8/event8' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input_0' (string)
info.category = 'input' (string)
info.capabilities = { 'input', 'input.mouse', 'input.touchpad' } (string list)
linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event8' (string)
Your output may differ, but the procedure should be the same.
Default HAL policy
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad">
<append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">input.touchpad</append>
</match>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge>


</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Looking at the hal-device output, I see my device is recognized as: input.product = 'AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint' (string)
Looking at the default policy, you can obviously see this is different: <match key="info.product" contains="ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad">
So, make the appropriate changes to the default hal policy that you copied to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ (i.e. Changing ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad to AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint)
In my situation, you can see that was the only line that differed between hal-device output and the default policy. Therefore, we can now make the appropriate adjustments to turn TAPPING off. Simply change the following lines in the default policy:
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge>
to the following
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">0</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">0</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">0</merge>
Afterwards, save and exit the policy and run:
sudo /etc/rc.d/hal restart
You should now have tapping disabled!!!
NOTE: Throughout this I have used Sudo to take on temporary ROOT priviledges... however, you may not have sudo installed therefore may be omitted if run as the root user.
NOTE2: Also, please note, depending on your device you may need to set MaxTapMove to 0.

Since the X.org update, this has now changed. The file you want to edit now is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf. Change TapButton 1-3 option values to 0 then restart X.

I CAN NOT DISABLE MY TOUCH PAD

I CAN NOT DISABLE MY TOUCH PAD. CURSOR JUMPING EVERYWHERE. I USE A MOUSE. I have gone into settings, and chosen the "long' response time, and other things. i have tried the FN +F3 key, which is supposed to disable it. That dosen't work either. i have the 2013 msi us g100. The slim laptop.

Which model do you have? Do you mean "S"100 or "U"100?
S100 doesn't have the Fn+F3 for disabling the touchpad, but you can try to press the reset hole to reboot the system.
For U100, try to do the EC reset by removing the AC adapter and remove the battery, then put them back and reboot the system.
