Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 trackpad issues

I have purchased this laptop less than a week ago. http://www.dell.com/uk/p/inspiron-13-7348-laptop/pd?oc=cn34803&model_id=inspiron-13-7348-laptop

I am having problems with the trackpad. When I initially touch and move it, it takes a few millimeters of finger movement for the it to start responding. After this initial delay, if I don't take my finger of the trackpad, it works fine without any problems. Very accurate and all that. As soon as I take my finger off, I get the same issue. It isn't a major problem, but it is very frustrating.

Every time I take my finger off, I have to deal with this delay (to reiterate, it isn't a time delay but a movement one, it's always the same distance on the trackpad before it starts working). This makes two finger scrolling very jumpy and unpleasant to use.  The touchscreen is fine, so I have been using it more to scroll up and down various pages.

I have tried to look for a solution online. There aren't any driver fixes because dell does not provide trackpad drivers for this machine. I am stuck using Windows drivers which are okay besides this issue I'm having. 

I hope this problem is a software and not a hardware one, I've seen other people complaining about similar issues but on slightly different machines, like the dell 7347. None of those solutions seemed to have helped.

I have sent my details in a private message.

I am assuming that the best solution for my problem is to reinstall windows as it would be too difficult to troubleshoot every driver that could be affecting the track pad.

Hi danielius16,

 

Thank you for providing the requested information, we will have the D-USB shipped to you. As we have tried all the possible troubleshooting steps we request you to back up all the data and re-install the Operating System once you receive the D-USB and let us know of the outcome.

Hi Mohan G,

I have received the d-usb. I can boot it up. I get asked for the product key. Is there any way I can get this ley? Can I reuse the one from my currently installed system, where do I find it if I can? Do I have to buy a key?

I am having the same exact issue and tried everything else suggested but the problem still remains.
Was this issue ever resolved and if it was, how was it fixed?

Thank you in advance!

I found the delay was gone when I reinstalled windows before all the drivers were installed again. Specifically I found that when the driver that enabled gestures and 2 finger scrolling was installed that's when the delay reappeared again. I kind of gave up on the issue, decided to use a mouse until windows 10 comes out and the drivers get an update (hopefully).

With windows 8 the drivers were operational on installation. The gestures were added with windows update on windows 8.1. Nothing needed manual installation.

Hi danielius16, I reinstalled windows but I cannot use touchpad without the driver... it doesn't work at all.

Which is the driver you have at windows reinstallation? I want that driver!

Of course, the problem comes with windows 8.1.

Reading your post I understood that at the end of the reinstallation of Windows 8.1 the touchpad was working!

If you disable the "I2C HID Device" in device manager, it will make touchpad behavior same as it is in safe mode. I have attached image for the same.

Hello, I am having the same issue as described here, but in Windows 10. 13 Inspiron 7000. Can you please point me to the updated drivers - assuming they will be different for Windows 10 than Windows 8. Thank you!
