If you don t see this anywhere you may want to try installing the latest driver.
Check mouse properties in control panel.
Then click on the icon for the point stick.
The ui is a bit different one the new driver is installed choose pointing devices.
My older inspiron allows use of the trackstick much like the touchpad push to control cursor motion and tap it to click.
The amount of force required to remove the cap will vary depending on the age of the cap and or laptop.
Unlike other pointing devices it reacts to sustained force or strain rather.
It should help you understand the uses and settings maybe even instructions on use.
Click on the dell touchpad tab then click device select then under the pointing stick you should have an option to disable it.
If you feel the cap comes off too easily replace it.
