I am using a Microsoft USB6000 mouse and I turned off the Elan smart pad, yet, when I type the pad is still active. When my thumb hits the pad, my cursor moves.
I suspect there is an easy solution to this, but I don't know.
Any one have suggestions for me?
Thank you
Bert

It *should* be listed under Mice and other Pointing devices.

| Double click the Elantech icon in the system tray. Select the Elantech tab. Select Elantech Smart Pad. Click stop device. Click apply. Click OK.

I use a wireless microsoft mouse and had the exact same issues as you. I tried to turn off the touch pad with function F3, the icon comes up on the screen to say touch pad is off. But when the touch pad is still active. I went to the asus download site and downloaded the touchpad software, installed and rebooted. Works perfect.
Cheers...Nexus

LOL,
I had a MS wireless mouse and returned it after a couple of days because of the problems.
I'm back to my old (and favorite) Logitech track ball.

Was wanting to stop the touchpad of my 900A while typing and using a usb mouse. Running Windows 7.
Downloaded latest Elantech driver here:
http://www.asustreiber.de/downloads/fil … v_x86_whql
Installed it. Went to control panel, then hardware, then mouse. Found the elantech tab. Selected "turn off touchpad when usb mouse is installed" and that was it. Works just like my Dell now. Mouse in, touchpad off. Mouse out, touchpad on!
Yippee!
