These Dell v14 drivers are better than the latest from Synaptics as the option to disable when another mouse is plugged in actually works with the Dell version. Might try them on my netbook where the option stopped working.

The whole touchpad experience is weak. Why did they skimp out like every other laptop I have used doesn't skip like this. It's like a low refresh rate or soemthing
