Hi AKenshin,
Sometimes it is more like a double "squish, squish" - a pretty firm double tap motion.  You do not want to smash the TouchPad; it does sometimes take a bit more than a light, casual, "There you are, nice little TouchPad" kind of tap.
You can also opt to have the TouchPad turn itself off when you have an external Mouse connected - very nice 
TaskBar > TouchPad Properties >  ClickPad Settings >
OR
Control Panel > Mouse > ClickPad Settings >
CHECK "Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached"
You can opt to have the TouchPad set less sensitive when you type
TouchPad Properties > TouchPad Settings > Smart Sense > Click Settings Wheel > Set desired levels and areas
Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad (Windows 8)
Dragon Notes:
To get to some of the features in the TouchPad, you need to open the TouchPad Properties from your Taskbar and then click on that feature to activate that menu item.  Once the item is "highlighted", sometimes a "spikey blue wheel" will show up just to the right -- this is the "settings" for that TouchPad feature.  Clicking on the Settings wheel will open the feature settings options so you can set the actual features AND get a bit of help on that feature.
Good Luck!
