sweaty hands effecting track pad useage on laptop

Sign in to disble this ad
So i have naturally very sweaty hands and it really messes with the trackpad. I mean, there not dripping or anything, just moist, and i cant control my trackpad as well as i would like because of this. Anyone have any suggestions. Anyone else struggling in life because of sweaty hands, my ears are open....

You might have to wash it every once in a while.

A mouse seems the easiest and most obvious solution and you should be hit round the back of the head with a rolled up newspaper if you didn't think of that already.

Alternatively you have those laptops with those little weird rubber nipple things that can be used as a mouse.

Perhaps you could find some way to connect an external touch screen to the laptop negating the need for a mouse at all.

I'm sure you could use a toothpick or something else as a stylus. Or if you have a DS use the spare one.
