Well I'm blowed. On mine Fn F7 turns it on and off. Never knew that.

My old Acer has a button to the left of the power button that disables
the touchpad.

Yeah.. It fully disables the touchpad. That's not the same as turning off tapping while allowing the swipe function of the touchpad to work.

Acer and ASUS laptops used to come with a driver that let you uncheck a box to turn off tapping. They haven't for a while, and older drivers don't work. Very, very, very annoying. I am forced to plug in a mouse even for very brief use of these laptops now, because it is absolutely impossible to use a touchpad with tapping enabled without accidentally tapping and screwing things up.

Who is the idiot who invents this stuff, and where can I go to shoot him or her?
