Great suggestion.

If this thing was not so expensive I used for hand gun target practice at 50 yards ; also my Granddaughter wants it. Any help would be great. It has jumped 4 times while typing this.
Classic "touch pad" fail. Touch typists drag their thumbs across the touch pad as you type.
Most laptops now have one function key that can disable the touch pad, or a sensitivity or disable function for the touch pad. Twenty years of teaching computers (with touch pads) alerted me to this. Covering the touch pad is an alternative.

You also might check your mouse settings. Used to have a similar problem on a laptop in Windows 10. Found a box in the mouse settings that was titled "disable touchpad if other input device plugged in" or similar wording. This helped. Have had that set for years now. However, I can no longer find that check box after several Windows 10 updates, but it is still working that way. I just have to disconnect my mouse from the computer to use the touchpad. (I'm now thinking that the check box disappeared because I now use a non-Microsoft mouse and it uses a different program for the mouse settings.)

I am on a macbook pro right now. Love it. But I am sure that not touching the touchpad is a matter of positioning, table height and so on. The current models have an annoyingly large touchpad, and I hardly ever use it as I prefer to use a wireless mouse. It could disappear and I would not miss it.
If all else fails, you can attach an external keyboard and type with that, well away from the laptop keyboard.
