I cant use touchpad while typing

Question

Hi, I'm using Vostro 5490.While typing I can't use my touchpad, it's especially annoying while gaming because I pretty much cannot play games using my touchpad.. While using external mouse everything works fine (with mouse ofc). I cannot find any settings to change that annoying thing. How can I change that? (And no, maximum sensitivity is not the way).

hyperj,

You would need to disable inside the touchpad driver the option to disable the feature that blocks it. However, since this is not a gaming machine, this option may not be there. The option is called touch check or touch guard. Disabling it should let you use both at the same time.

hyperj,   Unfortunately, since the system is not a gaming computer you would need to use an external mouse for gaming.
