The trackpad on the new Macbook Pro is messing with my typing....

The trackpad on the new Macbook Pro is simply too big. While typing messages, if you slightly touch the pad (ie: with the palm of your hand), the cursor just relocates somewhere else and you have to correct that mistake and manually return. anybody found a solution?

You are limited to making changes to trackpad settings:

>System Preferences>Trackpad


The ignore accidental trackpad input has been depreciated:

An external keyboard is an alternative
