Note that this can turn off not only touchpad but all mouse devices in your system. I personally turn off touchpad this way: ``` sysctl hw.psm.synaptics.touchpad_off=1 ``` This will not work unless you have: ``` hw.psm.synaptics_support="1" ``` ... in your /boot/loader.conf -- Best regards, Aleksander Alekseev
