  • Disabling or turning off the touchpad on your Chromebook helps keep you from accidentally moving the mouse during a video, or when you’re streaming games from Stadia on the go. Turning off the touchpad on your Chromebook is possible, but on occasion, some problems can arise.

    I was a little timid doing this procedure but IT WORKS. I am a writer and my palm hitting the touchpad was always screwing things up. So annoying! Of course you'll need to plug in a mouse, but no problem there.

    You HAVE TO push the shift, search and P button in consecutive order, NOT all at once, as it sounds like they want you to. For success, push the 3 buttons ONE AT A TIME. I now forget which order I did it, but I finally WAS able to disable that dang touchpad. Ahhh. but because no one tells you to touch the 3 keys one at a time? I thought we had to push them all at once. who knew?

      the same thing happened to me as well. and it believe its because either the wiring in the touchpad is messed up or i dropped my chromebook so many times in the past. and my chromebook randomly shut off the other day, and when it turned back on, my cursor wasnt showing and the touchpad wasnt working. even tried doing factor reset but didnt help

    Click on your serch then use your arrows keys and go to settings, if it doesn't work/move press on your tab key then press Enter then navigate with your Tab key click on devices then navigate again with your tab key to the TouchPad then click to off it, if it doesn't work scroll down to the last option ( Reset ) and press on enter. Good luck

    I just tried this on a Chromebook 315, and it turned off my touch pad just fine. I was wondering why the debug hotkeys weren't turning it off at first. They should just provide an option to deactivate the touch pad in the device settings menu instead of going through these unnecessary steps.

    Another approach is to tape a piece of cardboard over the entire touchpad. This should work on any laptop, regardless of make or age.

    Help ! Please one of you tech savvy people help me out ! please reply! we right brained Literature, history, philosopher creative but tech dummy types have value to the world too you know. 0:24 making the switch from windows to Chromebook is not surprisingly easy ! I liked touchpad on older windows laptops . But this one is so big i keep hitting it with my palms & does an unintended by me left or right click or for example goes to another tab or video .I'd trying to use a peripheral mouse but the touch pad is also on and screws things up . tried the search + shift + p and it doesn't turn off off the touch pad on this Lenovo Chromebook which i wish i would have never bought !
