    Hey guys, on my W530, I've noticed you can't move the mouse while typing. This generally wouldn't be a problem, but for gaming, that means if I hold "W" to go forward, I can't move the mouse/camera. Try it out, hold down a letter, number, whatever, and try to move the cursor. Is there a fix for this?

    It's probably a software setting buried in mouse/keyboard/trackpad settings, like "Disable trackpad when typing" or smth.
