    Hi,

    I recently bought a Dell E6420 laptop.
    I tried some games with it, and in each game i have the same issue.

    Namely, i cannot use the arrow keys, and the pointing stick at the same time, iex i have to release the arrow key, and then i can move the pointing stick.

    Why is this, and how can i fix?

    Me. Games are very much playable with a pointing stick. (At least better than trackpad)
