    My BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform seems like it might be sitting up a little to high. What can I do?

    Try placing your BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform closer or further away to achieve the optimum positioning. Many customers love using their BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platforms on their lap as doing so offers a counter-intuitive excellent position.

    When using my BulletTrain eXpress Keyboard Platform I notice that sometimes the cursor seems to randomly jump to a different part of my screen, which is confusing.

    The "Jumping Cursor" occurs typically based upon the cadence at which somebody types. If you type carefully and gently, and don't let your palm tap the trackpad by mistake, this will not occur. Typers who type really fast, or violently are more likely to inadvertently touch the trackpad with their palms. In other words, it is important to place your keyboard in a position which does NOT allow your palm to register an erroneous tap.
