how do I turn off tap-to-click for logitech k400r wireless keyboard with touchpad?

Question

I'm running kubuntu 12.04 i386 on lenovo thinkcenter.

There are no options for the touchpad under "Input Devices".

Is there anyway to turn off tap-to-click by editing some text file?

Solution 1

Am not sure but I think that FN plus left click turns off tap to click.

Solution 2

I think I had the same problem. No touchpad settings in systemsettings. But I don't remember how I fixed it :(

But I know that you can configure tapping with synaptiks.

Just start a terminal and type synaptiks or alt-f2 synaptiks.

thank you... that worked perfectly. Is there any guide for this keyboard or even a GUI utility for keybindings?

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! While we like seeing users, old and new, trying to help out other users with their problems, this seems a little excessive, disabling the entire driver. @13east only wanted to turn off tap-to-click while they were trying to edit a text file. Thanks for trying to help though!

yes. blue fn key and left click using the wireless keyboard touchpad button does the trick. This is an OS independent method so no need for installing wireless keyboard software.

Thanks a lot! I wanted to enable(!) tap-to-click. it just works :)!

@KalamalkaKid: fn+left-click is the official way to do it, according to Logitech. I just did it on my K400 Plus and it works as expected. The normal way to do it, using System settings, does not work. Makes me think it's built-in to the keyboard rather than an OS thing.

Shitty garbage secret hotkey I never wanted, what is the point of having a "Tap to click" option in setpoint if I can unknowingly override it with this. Setpoint fucking sucks

Solaar couldn't configure my K400R on Ubuntu 20.
