#WHAT IS ELAN SMBUS DRIVERS#
You’ll need a different set of Precision Touchpad drivers depending on whether your PC uses a Synaptics touchpad or one made by ELAN. Download the Precision Touchpad Drivers for Your PC Of course, you can always navigate your computer with your keyboard or even a touch screen, if it has one. Either a USB or Bluetooth mouse will work-just be sure you have something to use in case your touchpad stops working. We recommend you have a physical mouse ready, just in case. You probably won’t need it, but we’ve seen reports that this process can cause the touchpad to temporarily stop working while you change its drivers on the Razer Blade and perhaps other PC laptops. Have a Physical Mouse Ready, Just In Case You may be able to improve your touchpad responsiveness by installing the Precision Touchpad drivers using the instructions below. If you don’t see “Your PC has a precision touchpad”-as in the screenshot below-your PC doesn’t have the Precision Touchpad drivers installed. Even if your touchpad doesn’t feel great, that’s a problem with the hardware-not the drivers. That means you already have the drivers, so you don’t have to do anything. If you see the “Your PC has a precision touchpad” text, you’re already using a PC with a Precision Touchpad. You can check if your Windows 10 PC already has the Precision Touchpad drivers installed by navigating to Settings > Devices > Touchpad. Check If You Already Have a Precision Touchpad Many people feel the general movement and sensitivity of the Microsoft-customized Precision Touchpad experience feels better than the standard Synaptics or ELAN drivers.
#WHAT IS ELAN SMBUS INSTALL#
Install them and they should replace the Precision Touchpad drivers you previously installed, reverting your laptop’s touchpad to its original manufacturer drivers. Afterwards, head to your laptop manufacturer’s website, find the product page for your specific laptop, and download the latest touchpad drivers for your hardware. If you already have, we recommend heading to Control Panel > Uninstall a Program and uninstalling the Synaptics or ELAN drivers that appear here. We don’t recommend performing this tweak at the moment. We had some issues clicking and then our touchpads would stop responding shortly after boot.
#WHAT IS ELAN SMBUS UPDATE#
Update: The Fall Creators Update broke this tweak on both laptops we tried it on. It looks like that’s now possible-unofficially, at least. At CES 2017, an HP representative told us that HP was looking at making it possible for users to choose between treating the touchpad as a Precision Touchpad and using the manufacturer-provided drivers. It not only worked on both laptops, it made the touchpads feel a lot better-in our opinion.
We tested this on a 13-inch HP Spectre x360 (2015 model) and on a 14-inch Dell Inspiron 14z (2012 model).
Now, there’s a way to install Precision Touchpad drivers even on laptops that don’t ship with them. Unfortunately, PC manufacturers can opt out of using Precision Touchpads. Laptops with “ Precision Touchpads” are optimized by Microsoft, support standard gestures, and can be configured from the Settings app. Microsoft has been trying to improve the touchpad experience on Windows 10 laptops.
