TouchFreeze is a simple (and very small) program that helps you to avoid hitting the mouse while typing on a laptop. This is a feature similar to “PalmCheck” which is found on Synaptic trackpads. This program seems to work better in gaming environments that

might not work with Synaptic’s palm check. 

The download is 268kb in size and uses about 1.5mb of memory while opened.

TouchFreeze does not have any dialogue boxes or splash screens and, except for making your laptop computing experience easier, is virtually unnoticeable.

TouchFreeze is free and open source (License: GNU GPL v2)

Hey! My name is Jesse Zylstra, and I am the administrator of this website. I used to write about free software and programs, online web applications, and new technology -- especially open-source. Now I just write udder nonsense. I also play pipe organ, which I'm told is a fun and interesting fact about me. In the past, I studied network administration. Now I've been trying to pursue a real fake bachelors degree for the last, oh, 10 years or so.
