The infamous Xiaomi Mi Book Air (13) - does anyone have one? Question!

So, I have an unusual problem.

But first things first, yes, I know, chinese brand and all that.

It's for a customer, he bought it and gave it to me to install a german windows.

The device works like a charm, runs fast, amazing display, really quiet under windows with I'd say about 8 hours of battery life.

 

What I want to know:
Whenever I press a button on the keyboard, the touchpad becomes unresponsive for about 0.5 seconds.

Under Windows I did not realize that at all but I tried Overwatch for gaming performance and I was to lazy to connect a mouse.

Anyone else having this notebook and this issue, or any other notebook with that issue,

or any idea to solve it?

- I couldn't find anything on the internet (yet) except for one youtube guy who had the same issue.

This is the video at the point where he describes the problem, same as I have it.

- I tried several combinations of drivers: Original, Synaptics, Windows, Windows after Update. The touchpad works really well except for that short amount of time after pressing a button.

 

Thanks in advance

I've seen this on my HP Envy laptop. I don't know why it does that, but I can only assume it's a hardware limitation. I found out when trying to game on it (which it does OK) that you can't use the trackpad and the keyboard at the same time.

Yeah I want to know wether that is the problem or if it is software related (ie if I can fix it somehow)

From what I've seen on my HP Envy, it seems to be hardware related (although I haven't really dug much into it).

It's meant to be so when you type and hit the mouse it doesnt respond and vice versa

idk

That actually makes sense.

Expecially since I haven't noticed it under windows, only when I tried some gaming (and who games with a touchpad)...

It does occour since now that I know I tried it and it happens, but it's just such a short brief period of time.
