No way to configure touchpad settings in all-in-one-keyboards (keyboard + touchpad) about switchboard-plug-mouse-touchpad HOT 12 CLOSED

I suspect that if there is not a solution on different operating systems all over the web for years ... this problem is hardware-level design and can not be solved.

that's why the developer who created this mess is a big jerk ...

Disable one of the "HID-compliant mouse" in device manager, Try each of them until finding the touch pad one. Microsoft make it almost impossible on latest win10...

Hey OP, can you add more details? Are you saying touchpad settings don't appear for you at all?

I'm using a laptop, so there are touchpad settings but they are only for the built-in touchpad. Changing those settings do not affect the touchpad on my external media keyboard.

This is the keyboard I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IICMUWS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1462639499

I will look for the guide that I use to disable natural scrolling via terminal when I have time later. Might be helpful.

I believe this is what the guide I used to disable natural scrolling previously:

Does anyone know if this is still the case? We don't toggle visibility of touchpad settings, so I don't see how this could still be an issue.

The version of keyboard I got uses "natural scrolling" by default, but reports that "natural scrolling" is off. Duh. So I fix it at login with this command from a script:

xinput set-int-prop 'Microsoft Microsoft® Nano Transceiver v2.0 Mouse' 280 8 1

I have the same problem with this keyboard both on windows and on linux.

I hope it happens to be here and read these words

How does libinput learn what properties should be available for any given touchpad? As of Ubuntu 18.04, the Microsoft All-in-one keyboard's touchpad gives the following properties, which don't include any "tapping" properties. (Not sure why it presents itself as doubled up devices.) Is there any hope of a software fix for this?

But apparently it's possible to disable tap-to-click under Windows. At least, several reviewers on Amazon claim that "Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center" can do it. Which gives one hope. :-)

(Interestingly, the very similar Logitech K400 Plus can disable tap-to-click with a key sequence (Fn-Button1). At least they realized some people might not want it.)
