I've recently installed LXLE (with LXDE desktop environment), and I keep having problems where my mouse clicks are being triggered while typing on the keyboard.

Basically "Mouse Click" is super sensitive which means that in the middle of writing it clicks and chooses another dialog (almost constantly).

How do I make this less sensitive (never happened on Windows)?

Edit
If it's helpful, I'm using a Fujitsu LIFEBOOK NH751

Added the output of xinput; dmesg | grep pnp (the device part):

⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]

this is the problem I get too so I turn it off by using this

# Turn off touch pad
# placed in ~/.xproflie also 
exec xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 0
exec synclient touchpadoff=1 
exec synclient VertEdgeScroll=0 
exec synclient TapButton1=0
exec synclient TapButton2=0
exec synclient TapButton3=0

you can stick this is your bashrc file to trun it on and off

alias TT='touchpad-toggle'

###

function touchpad-toggle {

# toggle synaptic touchpad on/off

# get current state
SYNSTATE=$(synclient -l | grep TouchpadOff | awk '{ print $3 }')

# change to other state
if [ $SYNSTATE = 0 ]; then
    synclient touchpadoff=1
    echo "touchpad OFF"
elif [ $SYNSTATE = 1 ]; then
    synclient touchpadoff=0
    echo "touchpad ON"
else
    echo "Couldn't get touchpad status from synclient"
    exit 1
fi
 }

####

alias TT

you can google synclient touch pad linux for key words to find out more

  • So this turns it off entirely? I wanted something do decrease click sensitivity (saw on Arch something with FingerHigh FingerLow but couldn't find an equivalent on LXLE), because this doesn't happen on all Desktop Environments.. Commented Jan 10, 2016 at 9:00
  • yep tunrs it off completely, there is a set up out there to turn it off when typing, it is your pad right and left clicks we're talking about yes, not the mouse itself? Read this it may help give you more options wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics Commented Jan 10, 2016 at 19:28
  • technically it's the tapping on the pad itself, that is being identified as "left click" while I'm typing.. Commented Jan 10, 2016 at 21:16
  • that is why people came up with a function that stops the pad from receiving input from the pad, mostly because these types of people use a Mouse to do their bidding and not the pad. it is of no use to them. Commented Jan 11, 2016 at 12:31
