    <p>Never been a user of trackpads so the one on the x360 doesn't bother me.</p><p>EXCEPT!</p><p>You can't turn the damn thing off. The number of times I'll be typing away and don't notice the cursor has moved because my finger had glanced over the trackpad. Even HP don't seem to think there's a way of turning it off so if anyone out there knows…..</p><p><br></p><p>I think it was a PowerToy or something in an old version of Windows that let you switch the trackpad off if you had a mouse attached. The only options I get now are to change the sensitivity of the trackpad which has no effect whatsoever.</p>
