Does your cursor or mouse move while you type?

Ah, this is a common problem with many our clients.

Does this happen to you? You’re typing like a mad person and all of a sudden you see your mouse/cursor move to another spot on your screen. And you’ve noticed for awhile now.

This is a common problem with laptop users and it actually has a medical term associated with it.

Smallhandwristlaptoptouchpad Disorder, otherwise known as SHLTP.

Ok, that’s a joke.

What is really happening is that your wrists or hands are touching the “touchpad” on the laptop ,the little square soft area under your space bar. This is a hardware piece of your laptop that you can use as a mouse instead of attaching a mouse. Not everyone knows this but if you touch it while you’re typing, the cursor/mouse will move on you.

The people having most of the problems with this are women with smaller hands.  Some of the touchpads on laptops are wider or more delicate to the touch so you may not even see this problem.

You can disable this function or just keep aware of this and maybe you can avoid touching the touchpad.

If you want help with disabling this feature, Call That Girl today and we can remote in your computer and disable it for you.
