Alienware 13 touchpad driver problem
I’ll use the new modified Precision driver for now and see how long I can tolerate the shortcomings. This behaviour was the same as scrolling up/down with the older Dell official driver, which they’d fix on later date. I’ll bounce back if I swipe left/right, but it will scroll perfectly fine left/right. Second, after zooming in Edge, the scroll left/right isn’t working well. Tracking is wonky, and isn’t as good as Dell latest driver, but I can live with that, some people can’t.
I try putting the laptop to sleep and waking it up just to see if the gesture continues to work and it did.īut there’s some problems. The touchpad menu in Windows 10’s Settings changed after the driver change, indicating Microsoft Precision driver is working and I am finally able to do smooth zoom in Edge. I downloaded the driver from link in the Reddit post, followed the instruction to install the driver and restart the laptop. He followed a post in Reddit for the mod, but added a fix for the driver to continue working after waking up from sleep.
I found a thread in Superuser forum, a guy named James Manes made the driver work on his HP Spectre X360 (2017). That’s just me, so here’s the workaround: Yes I can tweak the DPI but I like the UI size to maintain native and small.
#ALIENWARE 13 TOUCHPAD DRIVER PROBLEM 1080P#
I need it because the text seems rather small on the 13″ screen with 1080p resolution. Seems to me the feature is available with Microsoft Precision touchpad driver, which I find it dumb not to have the same thing for other touchpad (Synaptics/ELAN). It is just not as smooth like on Apple’s Safari, which Microsoft own Surface device can totally do it in Edge browser. There’s just one thing bugging me – zooming in browser. The tracking and scrolling have improved a lot since I got my AW13. Just to be clear, the latest touchpad driver from Dell is very good. Found a way to force Windows Precision drivers on my Alienware 13R3.
