hey everyone it's ken here from northern
viking every day if you are new here we
bring you videos on reviews
and how to's so make sure you click that
subscribe button so you don't miss out
on any upcoming videos
today we're gonna be showing you how to
enable and disable
your touchpad only using the keyboard on
your laptop and as i mentioned i've got
three different
laptops here they're all slightly
different i've got a lenovo i've got an
older samsung and an older hp
all running windows and you should be
able to figure it out for your laptop
using what i'm going to show you today
now if you don't want to use the
keyboard
to do this i will create another video
it'll probably be the next video that
comes out
on how to do this in the settings so
watch for that video if what i'm showing
you today
doesn't work but let's jump on over to
my computers or my laptops i should say
and show you exactly how this is done
alright so here we are on my lenovo
laptop the touchpad is currently
working perfectly and the first thing we
need to look for
is our function keys here at the top of
our keyboard i've got f1
all the way through f12 and if i take a
closer look
i'm gonna see all sorts of little icons
at the bottom of these and those are
different functions that you can do here
as well but in order to access those
functions
on this computer i have to hold down the
function key
the fn key right here and i can access
any of these so if i look closer
you're gonna see f6 actually has a
little logo
of your touchpad with a line through it
crossing it out so if i go ahead and
hold down
the function key and f6
all of a sudden my touchpad stops
working which is super handy
maybe i'm writing an essay and my cursor
is jumping all over the place
and i need to turn that off now let's go
ahead and turn it back on the same thing
function f6 and all of a sudden it
starts working again now
it's going to be slightly different as i
mentioned on the samsung and the hp so
let's jump on over to those
and show you how to do it there as well
so over here on the samsung laptop again
the touchpad is working
and if i have a look at the function
keys again it's different this time
you can see that f5 actually has an
x through the touchpad so again we're
going to hold down the function key
hit f5 this time and all of a sudden the
touchpad
is going to stop working and again
function
f5 and again it is up and running let's
jump on over to
the hp which is probably the most
different out of these three laptops
all right so here we are on the hp
laptop if i have a look here on the
function keys
on this laptop specifically i'm not
going to see
any touchpad logos here now your hp
might have one and again you could do
the function and
that option if you do on this laptop
actually i have a
dedicated button right here so look
around on your laptop you might have a
dedicated button
that just turns the touchpad on and off
so if i click on that
all of a sudden my touchpad stops
working and i could click on it again
and it'll start working and
it's that simple for all these laptops
to turn
your touchpad on and off so hope this
tutorial was able to help you out in
enabling and disabling your touchpad
on your windows laptop using the
keyboard if it did make sure to give
this video a thumbs up
and also remember the next video i am
creating is how to enable and disable
the touchpad
using the windows settings not the
keyboard watch for that video i'll put
it
in the cards here at the end so you can
easily find it thank you so much for
watching today and until next time
