Hello,

Maybe you are touching the touchpad by mistake while you are typing.
This can easily reposition the mouse.

You should probably decrease sensitivity of your touchpad or buy
a mouse for your notebook and disable touchpad. 

It is much more comfortable to
use regular mouse with the notebook instead of touchpad.

Best regards,
