2013 15" MacBook Pro, Win7 64 in Bootcamp 5. Touchpad is too sensitive when typing.

Just got a new Mac Book Pro 15" with Retina Display. Installed Boot Camp 5, Windows 7 64 bit. Everything has worked fine, but noticed while typing that the cursor "jumps around" randomlIy. In researching this issue, I saw where in Version 3 of Boot Camp there was a checkoff box in Boot Camp setup for "Palm o Gestures" so that, while typing, the touchpad would not react (to my palm resting on the trackpad). How to fix?

Hey... False, BootCamp 3 hadn't any ability to filetr accidental input. I know this for sure, as I've been fighting like a crazy with awful BootCamp drivers back in 2010 🙂 In documentation such checkbox was mentioned, but that was like a bad joke from Apple. Try the Trackpad++, it has this option. Works perfectly for me, for years already.

K.R.,

Thanks for the reply! After I typed this question I continued to search and found the Trackpad ++ application. Downloaded it but haven't had time to test it. Glad to hear it has worked well for you.
