Dell laptop track stick.

If you don t see this anywhere you may want to try installing the latest driver. Check mouse properties in control panel. My older inspiron allows use of the trackstick much like the touchpad push to control cursor motion and tap it to click. A pointing stick nub or nipple is a small joystick used as a pointing device typically mounted centrally in a computer keyboard like other pointing devices such as mice touchpads or trackballs operating system software translates manipulation of the device into movements of the pointer or cursor on the monitor.

The ui is a bit different one the new driver is installed choose pointing devices. Click on the dell touchpad tab then click device select then under the pointing stick you should have an option to disable it. It should help you understand the uses and settings maybe even instructions on use. As becomes obvious from this supporting document it is perfectly fine that the track stick cap can be removed.

Click ok to save the settings and close the window. Unlike other pointing devices it reacts to sustained force or strain rather. If you feel the cap comes off too easily replace it. The amount of force required to remove the cap will vary depending on the age of the cap and or laptop.
