Just be aware that your device may have a different name or may be referenced by its commercial brand name on your hardware.

The device might be called "trackpad", "touchpad", "clickpad", or something similar. Many computer manufacturers provide a function key or key combination that alternately enables and disables the device. Given that the built-in "disable touchpad while typing" feature does not work for some people, having the ability to manually disable the touch-enabled device can prevent typing mistakes.

Most laptop computers these days use a touch-enabled device in place of an external mouse.
