It should help you understand the uses and settings maybe even instructions on use.
Dell laptop track stick.
Click the stick tab to adjust the track stick settings 6.
If you feel the cap comes off too easily replace it.
Unlike other pointing devices it reacts to sustained force or strain rather.
On the mouse properties window go to the device select tab and choose between stick stick and pad or pad only.
The amount of force required to remove the cap will vary depending on the age of the cap and or laptop.
Then click on the icon for the point stick.
Click ok to save the settings and close the window.
Click on the dell touchpad tab then click device select then under the pointing stick you should have an option to disable it.
As becomes obvious from this supporting document it is perfectly fine that the track stick cap can be removed.
If you don t see this anywhere you may want to try installing the latest driver.
My older inspiron allows use of the trackstick much like the touchpad push to control cursor motion and tap it to click.
The ui is a bit different one the new driver is installed choose pointing devices.
