does anyone happen to know an actually working M15x trackpad driver?

I know, I know.. For a $2000++ laptop, M15x still have a lot of unacceptable flaws, a terrible trackpad is one. Navigating it doesn't feel smooth or precise at all, and when you try to slide it quickly, it has a problem to keep the pace, you'll definitely want a mouse to operate this laptop.

I tried installing a driver from this website. Truth is, it only makes things worse. The driver does some pretty cool things in Windows 8 such as displaying Windows 8 charm if you slide the trackpad from right to middle, open last app if you slide from the left, two and three fingers scrolling. However, I do believe it's not made for my poor M15x.
I have also tried the driver from the official dell support page, working, but still considerably slower.

 

I use that driver. Its the touchpad really imo. On my M14x its a lot smoother. The texture on the touchpad wasn't a smart idea from Alienware. People found performance best without using a driver and using the stock Microsoft one.

 

I gave up on my trackpad and disabled it at startup lol. Use external mouse!

 

yea I end up disabling any driver from synaptics, much faster and reliable now. thanks!

 

The best driver is the one you pointed to or the DELL one, if none of them work fine after you play around with the settings then you might wanna use an external mouse. I just cannot play with trackpad on a laptop! :S It's super difficult!
