    Hello XPS users,

    I have had the L322x awhile back that I got rid of immediately due to the horrendous Cypress touchpad. You know how ridiculous and bad it is..

    Now my understanding is that Dell switched to Synaptics for that reason. And some reviews indicate clearly better touchpad performance.

    My gf currently has the older L322x model and I am thinking of swapping with 9333 palmrest assembly.

    My question is:
    1. Can I swap the palmrest? Can I use 9333's palmrest on L322x? I compared rough pictures on Ebay and they do look the same including cables...
    2. How much better in all honesty is Synaptics one? I haven't used it so I do not know. Did anyone get hands on both perhaps? In terms of touch sensitivity and accuracy, etc, can someone please comment?

    I appreciate your response in advance! Thanks!

    I have a Dell L321x and would like to switch the palmrest assembly with the 9333 palmrest if it is possible. Has anyone out there tried this with success?
