Can you turn off the touch pad mouse? I prefer to plug in a wireless mouse...

Hold the "function" key then press F7. This will toggle the mouse pad off and on

Nope! Inserting the USB receiver into the mouse MAY turn the mouse off (can't tell), but the keyboard is always on, but battery usage is nil during idle anyway. This pair is very slick, BTW, and have instant response. Keys are low contrast with small font, so you can MASSIVELY improve that by getting these stick-on letters: "ENGLISH US LARGE LETTERS KEYBOARD STICKERS NON TRANSPARENT BLACK BACKGROUND" ... only $1.80 but tricky to apply ... terrific keyboard after that!

I don't have it in front of me, but I believe there is a tiny switch on the bottom of the mouse which turns it on and off. It's not the best quality mouse, but if it's not working, that might very well be the issue.

yes, wireless usb plug in stores under the mouse which turns it off and conserves the battery when you unplug it. I have only needed to change the battery once in a year, and I use rechargables.

Rarely, if ever. Besides, you can turn off the touchpad if it bothers your typing. I believe there might be an option to adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad as well.

You can turn it off but only on the keyboard but it's hard to see the letters when it's off. And the mouse has led but it doesn't turnoff ever and I'll have to check the warranty on it when I get home

Same with me on my PC. When I use this mouse, I lose my wifi. I unplug the mouse - wifi connects. Plug in the mouse - wifi disconnects ...

I do not turn it off. It would save on batteries if I did. I've had to replace the batteries once. You will know when you need to replace them because the mouse will act funny.

Sure, there is an on/off switch in this mouse. In addition, its power is automatically off when it does not move.

well its a touch screen so you don't even need a mouse or to use the trackpad. the main reason I got this is because I have terrible carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis so I cannot click on the mouse, even the stylus pen can aggravate my symptoms if I use it for too long. I just use my fingers but I'm sure you can be able to install a wireless mouse or plug in a mouse with a USB cord. I just don't recommend using the mouse honestly because it will destroy your hands and rest over time. take advantage of the touch screen and save your tendons from straining every time you click.

I use a mouse instead of the touch pad but I don't know how to disable to touchpad.

Yes - but it's quite a small surface area to use. I happen to not like toiuchpad mouses - so I add a small mouse to my devices that I plug in and use instead.

Yes, we had a problem with the touchpad being pressed while using the keyboard and USB mouse. Fortunately, there is a setting that automatically disables the touchpad whenever a USB mouse is plugged in. Also, we had to disable the Win 8 gestures on the touch pad, because it kept doing weird things like pulling up the Windows 8 sidebar (which we never use).

I only have the wireless mouse. And there is a switch on the back where you can have it on with the led light or without

I'm not sure because I only use the touch screen entity of the product(which works great). I don't use a mouse at all.

Yes! Go to the bottom of your keyboard and find the blue Fn key next to the Ctl key. Hold that down while hitting the F7 key in the top row. That should turn off the touch pad. Hope this helps

There is.These mice used to have it so that, when you plugged the USB receiver into the mouse, for storage, it would automatically switch the mouse off, and when you unplugged the USB from the mouse (to plug it into your laptop), it would switch the mouse on. I was disappointed to see that this one doesn't have that.
