If you are not accustomed to laptops or notebooks, you might find the touchpad a little annoying as it can lead to accidentals clicks or scrolls if you do not pay attention to it. To avoid getting frustrated while working on your PC, you can try Touchpad Blocker.

It is an intuitive application that install within seconds on your computer and automatically displays the main window so you can get started right away.

The software solution is especially useful to those who type extensive reports or texts and who get annoyed whenever the caret is moved to another location simply because the touchpad was accidentally touched.

The utility basically blocks all mouse movements as soon as the pre-defined keyboard combination was entered, so users can focus on their work rather than constantly try and avoid the touchpad area. Taps and wheel movements can also be blocked for a short period of time.

One of the advantages of the program is that users can specify their own hotkey combination, and they can choose one that does not conflict with another one on their computer.

Users can also customize the duration of the blocking, i.e. they can set the interval to last somewhere between ½ second and 3 seconds - this way, one can also use the mouse intentionally without having their clicks blocked for a longer period of time.

Users can set Touchpad Blocker to play a beep sound whenever a click or tap has been blocked, so that they can correct their posture and move their palm or wrist away from the touchpad.

The software utility can come in handy to all those who are barely getting the hang of their laptop or notebook, and are constantly annoyed by the clicks or scrolls caused by accidental tapping of the touchpad.
