Windows 10: how to get precision touchpad driver on hp?

hello, i am using an HP pavillion x360 14 inch convertible laptop with windows 11 and i'm trying to figure out how to get the precision touchpad drivers on it because the preinstalled drivers synaptics SMBus Clickpad 19.5.35.50 are not good. There is a lot of missing functionality in this driver, for example i cannot do a two finger swipe in order to go back in browser. Also there's kind of like a dead space on my touchpad at the very bottom, im not sure if this is a hardware issue or what...but regardless, i've a few methods to install windows precision drivers involving the lenovo drivers

:)

 

Precision Touchpad Driver


Hello

I've just got a new Samsung Laptop, and it has a precision touchpad (from Synaptics) in it. I'm trying to find a way to disable the "Precision" bit of it, so I can use synaptics own drivers, which have more options (specifically, the palm control on it is awful, and the cursor jumps all over the screen when typing, and selects different input areas, etc. and I want to enable one finger scrolling, which isn't possible with Windows/precision). However, I'm really struggling to do this. I've downloaded the drivers from Synaptics site, but when I disable the device, install this driver (by manually selecting it using have disk), and restart, the touchpad doesn't work at all. If I install the driver by running setup, it appears to install fine, but makes no difference. If I let Windows choose the driver, it reverts back to the precision settings that I don't want!

Been searching all day trying to find something, but no joy - any suggestions?

Thanks

Charlie

 

Precision Touchpad drivers are crappy on my dell xps 15...

From reading other forums it is clear that this is not only all Dells using precision touchpads but all laptops using it. I have a Lenovo doing the same. I also have the latest updates. I have read on the HP forums and they have the same problems with precision
touchpads.

Precision touchpads are a Microsoft imitative to quite rightly force manufacturers to raise the standard but Microsoft have been sloppy on their side so all they have done is enforced a lower standard that is more difficult to use.

I get frustrated that all I get from Microsoft is the standard steps of updating drivers etc. and then a corporate statement. The only thing missing is being told to try switching it off and on again.
