#Trackpad not working windows 8 drivers#

#Trackpad not working windows 8 drivers#

I've scoured the internet for better drivers and software to no avail.ДЄt one point, I thought it might be related to my existing USB mouse. Not to mention, there isn't a disable option in device manager. The system tray indicates the trackpad should not be working, but there it is, in all its glory, taking over my mouse movements. I've checked to see that the Fn+f9 option to disable the trackpad was still on, and it was.

Then I get mad, I end up deleting some very important text. I type faster than my eyes can see (or my brain registers, not sure which) such that it takes a few words before I realize what happened. Where this becomes a problem is that I'll be happy-go-luckily typing away on my blog, letter, or essay when all of the sudden the trackpad wakes up and moves my cursor to a whole different part of the document. The trackpad is very sensitive to the point where a slight touch activates it. I expect the system to disable the trackpad when an external mouse is plugged in, but it doesn't keep that setting for long. Most of the time, I use an external mouse with my laptop. The Windows software is laggy, inconsistent, and buggy. The Mac software isВ impeccable, smooth scrolling in all directions, almost no lag, perfect execution of acceleration and speed, etc. However, the software to drive them is entirely different. It is my understanding that the Sentelic Finger Sensing Pad is actually very similar to the ones found on Mac laptops and are in fact made by the same company. Let me explain for those who are not yet plagued with the nasty bit of software attached to this otherwise decent hardware. The godawful, horrible, annoying, PITA trackpad.

I love my ASUS G74Sx laptop, it rocks in so many ways, except.
