    Have you tried the latest driver from the Dell website? For me those seem most stable.

    Everytime I used newer ones I had issues.

    Yes but they work well and are stable. Lots of newer touchpad drivers have caused my issues such as BSOD, etc. You can go to station-drivers and get the latest if you want to try them out
