x230t Disable touch screen

#1 Post by rsutoratosu » Fri Aug 24, 2012 10:33 am

Is there a way to disable the touchscreen input on the 230t, yes its a tablet, but trying to use it as a laptop.

Thanks

Assuming Windows, search pen and touch in the start menu, go to touch and then untick the box which says "use your finger as an input device"

I'm thinking about getting one of these myself... On the touch-screen version, can you disable the touch input, but still have pen input enabled? I had an old HP tablet years ago with this feature, and I found it to be very useful.

Cheers!

Well, I got it anyways, so the answer to my own question is: YES

You can disable the touch function, but the pen will still work. There's a toggle on the "SimpleTap" menu that lets you change this.
