What is a Missclick?

Missclick is when someone accidentally clicks.

How does this occur?: Usually occurs when people are writing something and while writing adding spaces is very crucial, while we add spaces our hand remains very close to the trackpad, which could possibly cause a Missclick due to your hand moving near the Trackpad. This happens a lot with very responsive and new trackpads. Missclicks cause disturbances and I'm making this guide for that reason.

How does it work?
We have to enable a setting through control panel which automatically disables your Trackpad when the Mouse is connected.
You can disable and enable it anytime.


How can we do it?
Step one: You begin by pressing the "Windows Key" and navigate to the settings icon.

Step two: When the control panel is opened, you navigate to "Devices" which is at the right of the "System" and you proceed by clicking on it.

Step three: You navigate to "Mouse" which is at the left in "Devices Section" and you click on it.

Step four: You navigate to "Additional Mouse Options" and click on it.

Step five: You navigate to "Device Settings" proceed by clicking on "Disable internal device when external USB pointing device is attached." and then click on "Apply and OK"
