Abstract: A touch device and an operation method thereof is provided. By determining whether the operating event of the touch device or its touchpad satisfies an exclusion condition, the command triggered when the touchpad is pressed is determined to be ignored or not. Therefore, the corresponding command triggered by pressing the touchpad downward is automatically excluded when it does not want to be triggered. Therefore, the user can naturally disable the function of the corresponding command, which is executed when the pressing module is triggered, during use without using other controls, thereby improving the convenience of use.
