  • Although on second thought, one of the main problems is that single clicks are being interpreted as double clicks and there are also phantom clicks. I tap the touchpad with one finger and it registers as two. I drag my pointer and it interprets it as a click.
  • I think you might be right. It seems to come and go. I'll see about safe mode. Doesn't that limit functionality of the machine? I can do that for troubleshooting but don't know that that's a good long-term solution. I appreciate your help. It's become very frustrating.
  • I was really hoping to find some kind of software issue responsible for this and a driver problem seemed the simplest bet. Not even sure how to troubleshoot now that I've ruled that out. Any ideas?
  • To reiterate my problem, after having this laptop for a year without issue, my touchpad has recently become sluggish, inaccurate in registering touches, and occasionally prone to what seem to be phantom inputs.
  • The touchpad does show up in my device manager list under HID, like the other poster has said. Is resetting the battery meant to get it to show up? If so, seems like I don't need to do that.
  • My touchpad shows in the HID section, and the driver for my touchpad (in HID) is showing as being from 2006. It seems impossible that that should be correct.
  • No option like that appears. My situation is exactly like the original poster. I want to find an updated driver to see if that solves the problem. But it's not listed among drivers on this site.
  • It's a Swift 3 314-42.
  • I am having this same issue and also cannot find any source for a touchpad driver. My laptop was working fine for about a year but now the touchpad is sluggish often and then occasionally erratic or showing phantom inputs. Can anyone please speak to this issue? I see the OP left without the issue being solved.
