Bootcamp: "Ignore built-in trackpad when mouse or wireless trackpad is present" option.

Dear Apple company,

Could you please develop the ability/function to turn off the trackpad when a mouse is connected under Bootcamp? Just like in OS X.

I know the trackpad's drivers under Windows are simple (compared to OS X).

But i really think this option is extremely basic and important for all users.

Could you please add this option in a future update? This will make more happy a lot of Apple clients.

Thanks,

Sebastian.

Apple does not participate on this forum. It is a user-to-user technical help forum with no Apple presence, other than hosting and administration. We do not work for Apple.

You can request features, point out bugs, etc, at Apple Feedback pages:

http://www.apple.com/feedback/

BTW, change the setting once you're in Windows.
