Swift 14 AI Touchpad is slow and laggy, driver from 2006. Any way to fix or update it?

person123

I just bought an ACER SWIFT 14 AI and everything is great so far except the touchpad. The touchpad is astoundly slow, slower than the touchscreen. Considering this laptop is brand new and it has modern hardware, I investigated.

On my device manager, I discovered the driver to the touchpad is from 06/21/2006. This is disappointing and quite frankly absurd. I tried to update it via automatic search, but this driver seems to be the only option. It has a considerable lag, thus, I am hoping for any advice on how to update this driver.

P.S- I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver.

Hi person123,

On modern Acer laptops like your Swift 14 AI, the touchpad is an I²C HID Precision Touchpad — it’s fully integrated and 100% controlled by Windows’ own Precision firmware, not by any Acer‑specific driver. That’s why Device Manager shows a very old “driver date” — it’s just a placeholder from Microsoft’s HID class driver.

You can try this to clear any firmware/driver handshake glitch:

1. Open Device Manager → expand Human Interface Devices.
2. Right‑click the I²C HID Device entry for the touchpad → choose Uninstall device.
3. Reboot — Windows will automatically reinstall the Precision Touchpad driver.
4. Go to Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Touchpad → Gestures & Interaction and increase the touchpad sensitivity to your preference.

This should restore normal responsiveness without needing any third‑party driver.
