Not sure if this is a problem with my hardware, but my Linux (Gateway) laptop can only look around while moving in one specific circumstance: when I keep holding the touchpad and sprint. I use arch btw

Solution: Lower Palm Check™ sensitivity or disable “Disable touchpad while typing”, which serves to prevent accidental touching of the touchpad while typing, hence “Palm”

    Have you tried a mouse instead?

      I don’t know why it’s being downvoted. Checking if it works with a mouse will rule out other reasons it doesn’t work.

        Yeah, I didn’t mean permanently. I just meant for troubleshooting.

          It was a very good tip IMO.

      Haha, yes, but I find pairing my mouse between two computers a little bit annoying.
