    Type jumps around when writing text...Need help!

    I have an M14X R2 and every time I type especially in email messages my type jumps around to the next line which becomes extremely annoying having to go back constantly to delete and re-type text. I searched online and the problem may be in the touch pad sensitivity or it may be a different problem altogether. All the articles I found were a few years old so I'm not sure if there is a more up to date solution. Any tips would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Try lowering the touchpad sensitivity. You can also disable the touchpad while typing.

    Yeah, thats just due to your palm hitting the touch pad. in the settings you can adjust it so it wont do that.
