Hello Matthew,
I don't think there is a way to turn off the trackpad in ML. I was looking for
this facility for a client just the other day and couldn't find it. I suppose
if you turn on the Trackpad Commander, the mouse won't go skating all over the
place.
Cheers,
Anne

Hello Matthew and Anne,
I think an alternative if you have a Magic Trackpad is to use the setting to
ignore TrackPad if a mouse or Magic TrackPad is connected. You could set this
in System Preferences Accessibility Mouse Trackpad and check the box to
ignore the built-in trackpad when mouse
Hi, Anne. Will give it a try. It's very distracting to hear VO
speak at random like that. That's one bug that got introduced in
Mountain Lion that drives me absolutely crazy. It's almost
impossible to keep one's thumbs from tickling the trackpad. On
Windows laptops, I either bought
Hi, Esther. Didn't have this problem in Snow Leopard. Believe there
was a way to disable the trackpad or at least desensitize it. Now,
it drives me crazy. I don't have a separate MagicPad, only the
trackpad that's on my MacBook Pro. Any additional ideas to stop the
crazy mouse from

Hi, Barbara. Ah, light dawns on marble head! Yes, VO plus turning

Hello Matthew,
You turn the Trackpad Commander on by holding down the VO keys and doing the
two-finger turning gesture clockwise on the trackpad. You turn it off with the
reverse gesture.
For myself, I don't have a problem with the trackpad. I have small hands and
it's easy to keep my thumbs
Glad it worked.

Hi, Anne. Agree with you on being a keyboard person. Not very productive when
you have to go between the trackpad/mouse and back to the keyboard.
I turned off the trackpad commander, and guess what - no more mice skating
